BANGALORE: Karnataka Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, on Monday, sought to allay doubts over speedy execution of work on the Bangalore International Airport project.

“I have directed the officials to expedite the work,” Kumaraswamy told reporters here and stated that there was no need for any apprehension that it would be delayed.

He was referring to reports that the project might suffer more delays as the Union Civil Aviation Ministry had asked the Bangalore International Airport Limited to prepare a new blueprint, keeping in mind the spurt in passenger traffic.

Work on the runway has commenced and as per the existing schedule, the airport is expected to be operational by 2008.
