Scope : To Build the Second Airport at Parandur, Tamil Nadu
The Tamil Nadu government has appointed a special district revenue officer to begin land acquisition to build the second airport at Parandur. The officer will be in charge of completing the land acquisition process at the earliest.
The officer will have the power to give notification, carry out negotiation, call for price fixation, send proposals to the government regarding this issue and publish them. He will also hold public hearing, hear grievances and address issues of residents whose lands will be acquired.
The land acquisition is likely to start in a couple of months. This project needs 5,746.18 acres of land, of which 1,917.17-acre land is with the government and the remaining will have to be acquired.
The Parandur airport is coming up at an estimated cost of Rs 20,000 crore in an area in Kancheepuram district, nearly 60 km to the south-west of Chennai International Airport in Meenambakkam.
In October, 2023, the Ministry of Defence gave its nod for site clearance and the state government too gave the administrative sanction.
