Maharashtra to survey Chakan site again

The state government is keen on re-surveying the Chakan site as the earlier survey conducted on the site had not given a proper report. If the site is found favourable, it will be a boost to the industrial sector in the area. The earlier plan envisaged construction of two 4-km-long and 60-m-wide runways on 1,250 hectare while an equal area was to be used for commercial development, building amenities and for returning a percentage of developed land to farmers. The new international airport was proposed to counter restrictions on civilian traffic at the city's Lohegaon airport belonging to the Indian Air Force base.
