Having overcome the legal hurdles, the government is keen on expediting the project work as any further delay will lead to rise in construction cost
Having overcome the legal hurdles over land acquisition, the Andhra Pradesh government is gearing up for laying the foundation stone for the Bhogapuram international airport in Vizianagaram district.
It is learnt that the State government is tying to include the stone-laying programme in the itinerary of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s two-day visit to Visakhapatnam from November 11.
However, the Prime Minister’s Office has reportedly indicated that it is not possible to include it even in the virtual mode.
Nevertheless, the State government is trying to make it a grand event. Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy will attend the programme soon, according to officials.
Meanwhile, Education Minister Botcha Satyanarayana, Vizianagaram MLA Kolagatla Veerabhadra Swamy, District Collector A. Suryakumari, and Joint Collector A. Mayur Ashok have reviewed the progress of the airport works for which the government has already acquired 2,500 acres of land.
Former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu had formally laid the foundation stone for the project during his tenure. But the YSRCP government is keen on doing it again as land acquisition has been completed after it came to power.
