The government land that comes in the ambit of the airport will, however, be transferred free of cost to the airport.
The state government has also asked the officials to construct new primary, secondary schools for children who will be shifted to new places after the land where they live and study would be acquired for the project.
Chief Secretary Anoop Chandra Pandey has also directed officials of the Women and Child Welfare Department to build a new ‘aanganwadi’ centre.
Officials have also been instructed to get the barren lands converted into cultivable land for use of agriculture purposes against all the agriculture land that is set to be acquired for the purpose of the construction of the airport.
