Construction of Algeo airport due to land dispute

From the beginning, there was a dispute about the land being used as a playground by the Nepali Army deployed to protect Ratnabatika and the park on the south side of the airport. Due to the lack of environmental impact assessment for the construction of the airport on that land, the construction has started to be obstructed.

'Other than that, the work is going on,' said Minaraj Ojha, the head of the airport project, 'it's been ten months since I applied for Ratna Batika and the army playground, but the study permit has not been received yet.' Environmental impact assessment has not been done due to non-come . Currently, work is being done on the vacant 980 meters of the airport. A cement base has been constructed in that area. Ojha, the head of the project, said that as soon as the work of cement is finished, the work of black paper will be started.

Ratna Batika and Sena's playground could not be built, and the locals forced dozers to run in the area in the last week of Baisakh. The next day, the park administration ordered to stop the work . "A letter came from the department asking to proceed with the construction work, the park stopped it saying that it would be a core area," said Ojha, the head of the project, "that's the reason for the confusion." Similarly, the army playground area is 200 meters. Including both, the length of the airport reaches about 1500 meters. "If the IE can be studied on time, the work can be completed on time," said Jitendra Yadav, engineer of the airport construction company Kancharam/KS/Uma & Company, "but if the land dispute is not resolved, it will be difficult to complete it on time."

The movement is also going on at the civil level for the operation of the airport which has been closed for a long time . In 2077, after pressure from citizens, a contract agreement was signed to advance the construction with the joint investment of the local level, state and federal government.

15 percent of Bhimdatta municipality, 10 percent of Dodhara Chandni municipality, 25 percent of Sudurpaschim province and 50 percent of the federal government have been contracted to be able to work within three years . During the armed conflict in 2056, the airport was closed for security reasons.

Since then, a test flight was also conducted when Lokendra Bista was the Minister of Tourism. But then again the discussion of the airport operation was raised . The last time, after the pressure of the citizen level, the construction work of the airport went ahead .
