Centre gives nod to exchange of land between AAI and Odisha Govt

The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved the exchanging of Airports Authority of India’s (AAI) land measuring 1.6 acres with an equivalent land area of 1.6 acres offered by Odisha Government.

The land offered by the State Government will be used by AAI for construction of Parallel Taxi Track. The exchange of land is not only beneficial to the State Government & AAI but also to the people.

Odisha Government wants to widen the State Government road near Biju Patnaiak Airport, Bhubaneshwar (known as Ekamara Marg/Palashpalli Road) for streamlining the security arrangements of the VIP movements and creating buffer zone for public use.
