The realtors have been jacking up prices every time the state government makes a statement on the project.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Multi-fold rise in prices<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Before Bhogapuram airport proposal took shape, the land in the surroundings used to cost around Rs 1 crore per acre. Now it is sold for Rs 5-6 crore. Ventures are mushrooming all over the place. Prospective buyers are being lured with colourful brochures with descriptions of \u201cvery close to international airport\u201d even for remote and distant ventures.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Worried farmers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Farmers who once owned lands near Bhogapuram airport project are now a worried lot. The lands there witnessed a sudden demand in 2003-08 during the boom period. Lands adjacent to Chennai-Kolkata highway at a distance of 35 km from Visakhapatnam, which used to cost Rs 50 lakh an acre, were bought at Rs 1 crore. Elated over the doubling of prices for their property, many farmers had then sold away even fertile lands. Now they watch helplessly as realtors earn crores of profit on the same lands.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Capital talk<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Apart from Bhogapuram airport, the YSRCP government\u2019s decision to make Vizag as executive capital of the state further fuelled demand for lands in the area. The realtors are quoting exorbitant prices for the plots and lands here. With the state government promising to complete the Greenfield airport by 2023, real estate companies are busy luring the NRIs using the internet. Now locals are complaining that due to rising prices of land, it has become impossible for them to buy a plot and build a house in these surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bhogapuram Greenfield international airport, which remained a dream for the last five years, has been minting money for realtors nevertheless.
