Why Adilabad airport needs 1,765 acres now
HYDERABAD: Officials have finalised that the proposed airport in Adilabad will require 1,765 acres in total, with separate allocations for aviation and defence-related infrastructure.
Of the total land, 765 acres will be used for the airstrip and terminals. The remaining 1,000 acres will be developed as a defence township.
Defence township to include housing, training facilities
The defence township will include residential quarters for personnel, educational institutions, and a training centre, according to officials.
A proposal is under consideration to transfer about 800 acres of unused land under the Cement Corporation of India to the defence ministry to meet part of the requirement.
Delhi meeting soon on compensation and land transfer
A key meeting in Delhi is expected soon to decide on land acquisition compensation and transfer of land for the project.
