Mysuru: The land acquisition for the expansion of Mysore Airport runway at Mandakalli has begun and several acres have already been handed over to the Airports Authority of India. However, there are some stretches of land that are yet to be acquired and the expansion works will begin as soon as the State Government completes the land acquisition process, said Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha.
Speaking to Star of Mysore this morning, he said that Mysuru District Minister G.T. Devegowda had assured to speak to farmers surrounding the Airport land to part with their properties. “This process must be completed by the State Government and the works on runway expansion will begin immediately,” he said and added that the survey for the runway expansion has already been completed in July 2018.
