The acquired 23.75 acres of land was handed over to AAI by the Government of Bihar on November 14, 2022. Its mutation took place on January 10, 2023 in favor of AAI. The acquired land of 52.65 acres was handed over to AAI by the Government of Bihar on 01 March 2013. Its mutation took place on April 06, 2023 in favor of AAI.
