Jewar international airport, due to come up in Gautam Buddha Nagar district, is finally inching closer to reality as farmers from the region are steadily agreeing to give up their land for the project.

So far, as many as 2,335 farmers have consented to give up 916 hectares of land for the proposed greenfield airport. This meets approximately 75% of the land requirement for the

first phase.

Speaking to FE, an official of the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) said it is now certain that the airport would come up in Jewar itself.

The total land required for the first phase is 1,334 hectare, of which 116 hectare is government land. For the remaining 1,220 hectare, the district administration, as well as local MLA Dhirendra Singh, have been trying hard to convince farmers about the importance of the project.

“We have finally accomplished the Herculean task of getting consent for the magical figure of 70% land required for the project. Confirmation has come from 2,335 farmers for 912 hectare, which is almost 75% of the total land required for the first phase. We are now sure that Uttar Pradesh would not be left behind in the development race,” said Dhirendra Singh, adding that not only would the airport lift the fortunes of the region, but also act as a catalyst in improving the fortunes of the villagers and farmers of the area.
