Speaking to media, Chakradhar Babu said that they had instructed revenue officials to take all measures for speedy completion of land acquisition in the mandal. He said once the airport was completed there would be chances for regional development.

"Measures will be taken to start small and medium scale industries close to the airport as they generate avenues to the local unemployed youth. We had already formed the District Level Skill Committee with officials from 14 departments for honing skills among the unemployed youth," said the Collector.
