Acquisition of Land at Karuvadikuppam for Coast Guard

The Central Government accorded sanction on 21.10.2013 for acquisition of 35.02 acres (approximately) of private land at Karuvadikuppam, Puducherry at a cost of Rs.54,15,42,276/- under Land Acquisition Act 1984, for setting up of Coast Guard Air Enclave. However, further action pursuant to the Government sanction could not be taken due to promulgation of the new Land Acquisition Act 2013.

No such proposal has been received from Coast Guard.
