The State government has sanctioned an additional amount of ₹90 crore for land acquisition for the Mamnoor Airport project in Warangal.
According to a Government Order issued by the Transport, Roads & Buildings (Airports) Department on Thursday, this is in addition to the ₹205 crore sanctioned on November 11, 2024, for the same purpose. The previous order had authorised the Warangal district collector to acquire 280 acres and 30 guntas of land for airport
development.
The finance department has already issued a Budget Release Order (BRO) for ₹205 crore towards land acquisition.
“The district collector has requested the government to release the already sanctioned ₹205 crore and to sanction an additional ₹90 crore, totalling ₹295 crore, to the land acquisition officer and revenue divisional officer, Warangal, to finalise the award and disburse compensation to landowners affected by the Mamnoor Airport project,” the GO stated.
