Lakshvedhi on Purandar airport development
The non-descript drought-prone village of Pargaon Memane in Purandar taluka, 35-40 kms from the city, has been suddenly thrust into the limelight with the state government zooming in on the village for the proposed international airport for Pune.
With a fleet of government vehicles doing the rounds of Pargaon Memane and other villages of Ikhatpur, Munjwadi, Khanwadi, Rajewadi and Waghapur in the last two weeks, conducting ground and aerial surveys, the villagers are hoping that along with the airport, their dream of development for this arid patch too will take off.
The village is located in a patch that largely remains arid throughout the year. However, this year, the area witnessed a few spells of rain which brought some greenery.
Hundreds of farmers from at least seven villages in Purandar tehsil in Pune district, where a greenfield international airport is proposed to be set up, staged a protest, claiming that the project will hit their livelihood and affect their future generations. During their protest held at the Council Hall in Pune, they said that they would not give their land for the planned airport. The Maharashtra government recently gave its go-ahead, for carrying out a detailed project report (DRP) for the airport, which will be spread over 2,400 hectares. The site has already been approved by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said. However, after the state government’s announcement about the airport, the affected villages Rajewadi, Amble, Waghapur, Pargaon Memane, Khanawadi, Munjawadi and Ikhatpur, had passed resolutions that they would not give their land to the project.

So, we do not want any package and the government should not put any kind of reservations on the land of these seven villages,” said the memorandum.
