Where in, In and Around Bangalore they(HDD and the tree) don't have a land. They have everywhere. Even if the airport was set up in Kanakpura or Ramnagara belt they would have benefited. There was also a news that they are actually trying to get the airport set up in Ramnagara belt. Your thought is good that it would have been much better for the people of mysore also if the airport were to be set up in ramnagara belt. I don't know the precise reason why it was planned there. In fact there are many excuses for it being set up there. But at the end of the day, common man's question remains unanswered and the memory in rediff's server keeps wasting because of these unanswered questions.
