The State Government is on the verge of completing the formalities necessary to acquire land for the Madurai and Tuticorin airport expansion. According to reports, vast areas of land will be handed over to the AAI (Airports Authority of India) to start the work.
‘In the case of Madurai, the State government is on the verge of issuing acquisition notification. The State has to pay compensation to those who parted with their land. In Tuticorin, the process of issuing acquisition notification would be completed soon. Once these processes are completed, the AAI would get the additional land in Madurai and Tuticorin…. The AAI had asked for 615 acres of land in Madurai to take up expansion work. Of the total extent, patta land accounted for 433 acres’, said Regional Executive Director of the AAI’s Southern Region D. Devaraj.
