Mysore/Mysuru: Mysuru-Kodagu MP Pratap Simha has asked the officials from the Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB) to speed up the land acquisition process to facilitate the building of a 500 metre-600 metre long tunnel or underpass near the Mysore Airport at Mandakalli and to facilitate the extension of runway to 2,750 metres.
An additional 240 acres of land is required for the purpose and all processes have to be speeded up to acquire the land by paying compensation to the landholders at the earliest, the MP told officers at a meeting organised at Jaladarshini Guest House on Monday.
