Land Acquisition for Purandhar Airport to Commence Monday
The government is starting to get permission from people to take their land for a new airport near Pune.
The airport will need land from seven villages, but now they need less land than originally planned.
People can say yes at two government offices.
Those who agree to give their land will get some of the land back after it is developed.
The project was approved a while ago and has started moving faster recently.
Pune District Collectorate will begin land acquisition consent on Monday for the Purandhar airport.
3,000 acres of land will be acquired across seven villages.
Consent can be given at the District Collector’s office and the Sub Divisional Officer’s Purandhar office.
