[JANASENA]

VIZIANAGARAM: The Union government has given technical approval to the greenfield Vizag international airport that is slated to come up on the outskirts of the city at Bhogapuram in Vizianagaram district, said minister of state for rural development Kimidi Mrunalini at a press meet in Vizianagaram on Monday.

The airport requires around 5,040 acres of land, much of which will be acquired from the 10 villages and associated hamlets in and around Bhogapuram, the minister said, adding that 1,167 acres of government land will also be acquired for the project.

Speaking on the payment of compensation for the 3,873 acres to be acquired from private land holders, the minister said the compensation package will be much more than the package being offered for land being acquired for the state capital.

"As many as 10,241 residents living in and around the area will have to be evacuated and around 2,500 houses will be built in the neighbouring region for them. D-Patta land will also be provided to the displaced. Most of the government land that will be acquired would be in the Bhogapuram-Pusapatirega area," she said.

The minister also said that 3402.55 acres of private agricultural land will also be acquired for the project along with 470 acres of non-agricultural land that is privately held. As for government land, the acreage of the assigned land that will be acquired is 370.87 acres, while the acreage of non-assigned land is 1167.47 acres.

The villages where the core project is slated to come up are Bhogapuram East (627 acres), Chakivalasa (487 acres), Munjeru (1626 acres), Jagayyapeta (10.87 acres), Kongavanipalem (805.55 acres), Kancheru (118 acres), Gudepuvalasa (1112 acres), and A Ravivalasa (253 acres), the minister said. "The public should not panic by listening to rumours regarding the takeover," she advised.
