The Committee on Public Undertakings has started deliberations on the Comptroller and Auditor General’s (CAG) report on implementation of public-private partnership project by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) at Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi.
The panel, at a meeting held here on Thursday, has asked the Civil Aviation Ministry to provide all documents on the bidding process and land acquisition for building the airport.
The panel has also sought details of the compensation package given to the farmers, whose land has been used for the project.
According to panel sources, there were detailed discussions on whether the land acquisition process has been done properly, and whether the DIAL changed the purpose of land use and the compensation package.
The members have also demanded the Ministry to provide the details whether any five-star hotels are coming up in the land, acquired for the airport.
Sources said there were questions on the airport development fee as well.
Members said they were not satisfied with the replies provided by the Civil Aviation Secretary K.N. Srivastava and the Airports Authority of India Chairman V.P. Agarwal.
The committee has asked them to provide written answers for the queries from the members. The next meeting of the panel is likely to consider the replies by the top officials.
