Bhubaneswar: The State Government has asked Khurda district administration to identify 10,000 acres of land for establishment of an industrial estate.
The Khurda administration has also been asked to identify land for the proposed second airport. The land identified for the two purposes will be handed over to IDCO.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) had rejected the proposal of the State Government for establishment of international airport near Khurda. The pre-feasibility study conducted by AAI had stated that the proposed site of airport on over 2,000 acres of land around 40 km south of the Capital near Jankia and Malipada villages was not feasible. The State Government has now started searching for an alternative land for the airport.
The Government has also decided to clear encroachments from the Capital for which it has constituted an enforcement monitoring committee (EMC) to be headed by BDA vice-chairman. It will include officials from General Administration Department, Odisha State Housing Board (OSHB) and Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) as its members.
