Thiruvananthapuram, Nov. 22:
The Ministry of Defence has exempted the proposed Kannur international
airport from ‘a couple of exacting’ conditionalities which helps the State
Govern-ment’s cause, according to K. Babu, Minister in charge of the project.
This became possible after Defence Minister A.K. Antony intervened in the
matter, he said. Exemptions are applicable to conditions that demand that the
airport company provide free of cost 10 acres of land for setting up a naval
air enclave within the command area and inducting a nominee of Southern Naval
Command on the board. Minister Babu had written to Antony requesting waiver of
both these conditions. The required land may now be provided on long-term lease
basis only.
