Good m orning Sishir,
In petition it was also mentioned that portion of the plot was encroached by hutments, which came to be called Indira Nagar and Nehru Nagar and that the property is reserved in the Development Plan for public purposes. While the land is required by the AAI considering the shortage of space for the airport.
