AAPSU asks AAI to build greenfield airport at Karsingsa

02 May 2013 Editorial Team

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has been urged by the All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU) to construct the proposed greenfield airport at Karsingsa and said that setting up the airport at Hollongi as proposed would entail rehabilitation of Chakma and Hajong refugees.

An AAPSU team, led by its president Kamta Lapung, called on AAI Executive Director (Planning) Kalpana Sethi at New Delhi on April 30 and placed the demand, saying the foundation stone for the project was laid on February 20, 2007 by the then Union 亚博体育官网首页 Minister Shivraj V Patil, a press release said in Itanagar on May 1.

The no-objection certificate from the Defence Ministry as well as the environment clearance for the airport was also obtained, while the public hearing was conducted on December 4, 2009, the apex students' body of the state said.

When the locals were ready to donate land at Karsingsa, located near the inter-state boundary, and setting up the airport there would not require rehabilitation of the refugees, why was the project's location altered?, the AAPSU questioned.
