Forest Trails Residents Raise Alarm Over Alleged Illegal Construction on Reserved LandPune Collector Meets Farmers Affected by Purandar Airport Project: What’s the Update
The office of the Pune District Collectorate convened a meeting with farmers and residents from villages in Purandar taluka whose land is proposed to be acquired for the new Purandar International Airport. The session, led by Jitendra Dudi, aimed to address farmer concerns about compensation, rehabilitation, and the future implications of the project.
What Was Discussed: Farmers’ Concerns & Administration’s Assurances
During the meeting, many of the key issues raised by the affected landowners were heard carefully. These included:
- Demand for fair land valuation and compensation
- Request for rehabilitation plots or housing for displaced families
- Compensation for ancillary assets: houses, wells, borewells, fruit-bearing trees, cattle sheds, etc.
- Requests for tax and stamp-duty exemptions, and other concessions for impacted families
- Assurance of transparent crop surveys and fair asset valuation for non-land assets like borewells, trees, and structures
- Consideration of employment opportunities or skill development for locals affected by the acquisition
Collector Dudi reassured the attendees that the administration would maintain transparency throughout the process — in land valuation, compensation disbursement, and rehabilitation. He also indicated that updates would be shared regularly.
What Compensation Package is Being Offered (Proposed)
Earlier in November 2025, the administration proposed a base compensation of ₹1 crore per acre for the land being acquired under the airport project. Farmers are also being offered double compensation for on-site assets (houses, wells, pipelines, trees, etc.) along with 10% of developed land in the upcoming Aero-City for those who lose their homes.
The offer also covers:
- 250 sq m residential plots in the planned Aerocity zone for those whose homes are acquired.
- Compensation for becoming landless or small land-holders under the relevant provisions.
Land Consent and Survey Status
As of September 2025, the administration claims to have secured consent from nearly 90% of the required landowners, covering around 2,700 acres out of 3,000 acres needed for the project.
What’s at Stake for Farmers & Locals
Thousands of rural families are waiting for justice and clarity regarding the more than 3,000 acres in seven villages designated for acquisition. Not only are landowners impacted, but many people who depend on small holdings, livestock, and agriculture are as well.
Fair compensation, an open process, rehabilitation, and the preservation of livelihoods are still at stake, even though the airport project promises urbanisation and development.
