If land is taken forcibly to build an airport, it will not be accepted in any way. Area MLA Nowshad Siddiqui thus opposed the government’s plan to acquire land for the construction of Bhangra Airport.
The state government plans to build another international airport near Kolkata, in addition to the Netaji Subhas International Airport in Dumdum. Chief Secretary Harikrishna Trivedi has instructed the district administration to look into the land so that a lot of land can be obtained at once in Bhangra of South 24 Parganas. Nowshad Siddiqui, MLA of the area, said, “If the airport is built, 15 to 20 villages will disappear. Where will the thousands of people, most of whom are minorities, go? নামে Three to four crop lands will be acquired in the name of building an airport. Ordinary people’s agricultural land will be gone. Will history repeat itself again? ’ At the same time, he said that forcing people to be evicted in the name of building an airport would not be acceptable in any way. His question is, is the present government moving away from the policy of land acquisition?
Despite opposing the acquisition of land for the construction of the airport, the MLA of Bhangar said that the Chief Minister took initiative to include Bhangar in the railway map. Arrange for the construction of high quality cold storages for the farmers. Improve hospital infrastructure. I will fully cooperate as a people’s representative.
