Need 3k acres for airport, multimodal hub in Purandar

A little over 3,000 acres would have to be acquired from seven villages in Purandar taluka for the proposed Greenfield airport and multimodal logistics hub,” said Divisional commissioner Saurav Rao recently. The district administration would conduct a detailed assessment of the land in seven villages, including Paragaon, Khanwadi, Munjwadi, Ekhatpur, Kumbharvalan and Vanpuri. The Deputy CM reiterated the proposed airport will come up at the previously identified site in the seven villages as it had all the required permissions. Land for the project was earmarked as per the earlier proposal submitted to the government. Rao said, “I shall convene a meeting with the officials of the Pune district land acquisition department, the Maharashtra airport development company, the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation, and representatives from Paragaon, as a part of initial discussion.”
