When the PIL came-up for hearing, DB observed that On 24th July 2020, we have noted as follows that Adv Ravi Abrol draws our attention to the following directions made as back as on 29th March 2019 are it would appear that there is no impediment for the utilization of the 137.78 acres of land which is required for the construction of the new Civil Terminal at the Jammu Airport. While the status report discloses the steps being taken for reconstruction of required facilities of the Animal Husbandry Department whose land has been taken for the purposes of the airport expansion, the status report does not disclose the steps being taken for construction of the new Civil Terminal at Jammu Airport.
