There is a mixed reaction, from the districts of the Mysuru region, for the state budget, presented by Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa, on Monday.
The much-awaited Hassan airport is likely to take off, with the government allocating Rs 175 crore.
It may be mentioned that 543 acres of land was acquired decades ago and there were assurances of establishing an international-standard airport in Hassan. The airport in Hassan is the dream of JD(S) supremo and former prime minister H D Deve Gowda. Once the airport becomes operational, it will boost tourism activities in the Hassan district.
