The process for the expansion of Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad has advanced, with the new survey report set to be submitted to higher authorities. The District Rate Determination Officer will forward the report to the Meerut Divisional Commissioner. Subsequently, the file will be sent to the state government to seek formal permission for land acquisition.

Land Acquisition And Farmer Consent

The original plan envisaged expanding the airport by nine acres. While 90 per cent of the farmers had agreed to provide their land, some expressed unwillingness. Consequently, a new survey has been conducted for approximately eight and a half acres of land to facilitate the expansion.
