Mangalore , June 12

UAE-based NRIs forum has urged the Karnataka Government to acquire land for the construction of international terminal at Mangalore airport at the earliest.

A press release by the forum said that the Karnataka Chief Minister, Mr H.D. Kumaraswamy, who was in Dubai recently, has been urged to take steps in this regard. While acquiring land for this purpose, the affected people should be properly rehabilitated, the release added.

The Government should also take steps to construct an approach road to the international terminal, it said. Welcoming the Centre's decision to declare Mangalore as Customs Airport, the forum said that the move would help international flights to land in Mangalore. The forum requested the Government that the Mangalore airport be declared as international airport at the earliest.
