The Kangra district administration is formulating a relief and rehabilitation plan for people, who are likely to be displaced due to the expansion of the Gaggal airport. Highly placed sources told The Tribune that more than 2,500 families would be uprooted due to the airport expansion project.
According to the sources, under the relief and rehabilitation plan, a double benefit has been proposed for people, who are likely to be displaced. The benefits proposed are compensation for the land acquired for the project and a provision of alternative land and houses in satellite townships to be developed in the vicinity of the airport area.
