Minister for Sports V. Abdurahiman has said that the package offered for acquiring the land needed for the runway end safety area (RESA) expansion at the Calicut International Airport is the best in the State so far.
Addressing a meeting of officials, political leaders, and those who offered their land for the airport expansion at Haj House, Karipur, on Tuesday, Mr. Abdurahman said the government took pride in completing the process in a short time. He congratulated landholders who surrendered their land, officials who worked overtime to complete the process, and leaders who convinced people of the importance of airport development.
Mr. Abdurahman said the government could give a better package at Karipur than what had been for acquiring land for national highway expansion. “We started field work on August 7 and could finish it in two months. It’s a historic achievement,” he said.
