Building begins to take final shape
The Times of India

Bangalore: If you stand on the Bellary Road, nothing is visible. But there is a hectic day-and-night activity to build the Bangalore international airport at Devanahalli just beyond the compound wall.
Sixteen months into construction, the first pre-cast element of the roof has been put up on the terminal building. With this, the construction has progressed significantly. The building has begun to take its final shape, with concreting masonry and plastering works on.
The air traffic control tower — a barometer of the speed of the airport construction — has touched 52 metres out of the total height of 65 metres.
At the runway, apron and taxiway, the base layer of the black top has progressed, while earthwork for rapid exits commenced.
