Mangaluru, Apr 18: Dakshina Kannada Deputy Commissioner A B Ibrahim said that the exit road leading from Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) which is in the process of being constructed, would be completed and opened for public use by the end of May.
He said that apart from the road leading towards the airport and the exit road, an alternative road was being built at a cost of Rs 1.90 crore during emergencies. The construction of this road leading towards the airport from Maravoor gram panchayat, is under the tender process, he informed.
In the meeting, Mangaluru Assistant Commissioner D R Ashok informed that a total of 422 acres land had been acquired for the construction of Mangaluru International Airport in Malavoor, Adyapady, Kolambe and Kenjar villages. Subsequently, around 153 cases had been registered in the court of law for higher compensation for the land acquisition. Out of the 153 cases, the court had issued an order allowing higher compensation in a total of 79 cases, he informed, adding that the law department had sent a notification to file for appeal against few cases out of the above.
Responding to this, Mr Ibrahim said that it was not suitable to appeal in the higher court only in few cases. Either all the cases have to be appealed against in the higher court, or none of them. A decision will be taken after receiving directions from the government, he said, informing that a proposal would be sent to the government in this regard.
In the meeting, KRDCL assistant chief executive engineer Abdul Suban, MIA Director Radhakrishna, Puttur assistant commissioner Basavaraju and others were present.
