Vijayawada: Even as the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the district administration are gearing up to commence development works at the Gannavaram airport, the “Centre’s apathy” towards the key project has left everyone shocked. The Centre’s “indifferent approach” will have a bearing on the State, which is all set to present its annual budget.
Incidentally, Andhra Pradesh is heading for a deficit budget of Rs. 16,000 crore.
The plans to take up expansion works reached a crucial stage, with the district administration leaving no stone unturned to convince farmers in handing over their lands.
A series of meetings had already been conducted with farmers in this regard, and Union Minister of Civil Aviation P. Ashok Gajapati Raju and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu had instructed officials to expedite works in the wake of increasing passenger patronage post-bifurcation.
