Maha: Revenue Minister discusses issue of land acquisition for proposed Purandar airport with farmers opposing it

Pune, May 5 (UNI) Maharashtra Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Monday discussed the issue of land acquisition for the proposed international airport at Purandar with agitating farmers from seven villages for about two hours at the district collector's office here and said this project, like the MIHAN project in Nagpur, will change the picture of western Maharashtra forever.
Instead of refusing to give land for Purandar airport, he appealed farmers to present their demands to the government within seven days along with the compensation they expect.
This airport will boost development of western Maharashtra and provide employment to the youth of the area, he informed.
While reviewing agitation, Bawankule said that during the recent agitation in Purandar, cases have been registered against some farmers.
In this regard, an inquiry will be conducted to withdraw the cases registered against innocent farmers during the agitation.
However, he clarified that they have video evidence to take action against those who allegedly attacked the officials and added that he will discuss this issue with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
