Chennai Airport
Two sites in focus for greenfiled aiport
July 18 2007, Chennai:
Alamadi near Red Hills and Sungavarchattram near Sriperumpudur
Proximity to highways a criterian
Large tracks of government land available
State government keen to avoid acquisition problem

Two sites near Chennai are under consideration of the of the state
Government for the green field airport, arroding to an official
source.

Chennai Airport

Alamadi village, north of Chennai, and Sungavarchatram near
Sriperumpudur are the two sites for the new airport. Alamadi village
is about 8 km from Red Hills and 30 km northwest of Chennai. One of
the reasons for considering this location for the project is the
site's proximity to the proposed Outer Ring Road. In the case of
Sungavarchatram, it is close to Chennai-Bangalore highway.

The other important criterion for considering these two sites for
evalution is the presence of large tracts of government land.

According to the source, the Government is keen to avoid acquisition
problems. Other places in and around Sriperumpudur are fraught with
acquisition issues since most of them are patta lands.

Prabakar, your postings has got more information. It is good to know
that govt got plans to widen the singaperumal road. I think this is
where the palace garden will have its main gate. Correct me if I am
wrong. I am trying to locate the palace garden in wikimapia
http://wikimapia.org/#lat=12.817011&lon=79.954452&z=16&l=0&m=a&v=2. It
is not clear where this would be. Let me know if you have any
details.
