  2. Information Requested - It covers a whole lot of details that govern BIAL project ranging from tender process, consortium selection process, CA agreement finalization, authorities who approved 150 Km rule, HAL closure approval, airport license process to non-compliance in facilities found before the operational license etc.
  3. Response - So far, DGCA, MoCA, and KSIIDC have acknowledged that they have received the application. Yet to hear from AAI and GOK.

We need volunteers to accompany Rithesh Swamy to KSIIDC office and get the copies of BIAL information we all are looking for. Guys, here is our chance to dig that one truth everybody is trying to hide and dodge. The effort involved is, visiting KSIIDC office and scan their office records for the information. Make copies of the information we require. If you are interested please send a PM to Rithesh. Tentatively the visit has been planned for Nov 15. Rithesh is the contact person for this effort.
