  "account": "The district administration in Belagavi has commenced the land acquisition process for a four-lane road connecting Sambra Airport to the city. Officials have also started surveying for additional land to expand the airport. Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Roshan informed reporters that widening the existing road to four lanes is planned due to the airport's future needs, anticipated traffic growth, and increasing industrial activity in the area. The administration has allocated around ₹10 crore for land acquisition, with the work set to begin once the process is completed. The airport's access road to Nilji has already been widened, and remaining sections are expected to start construction soon. Roshan stated that the upgraded road will enhance airport connectivity and contribute to industrial and economic growth in the Sambra region.",
