India’s Civil Aviation Minister, Ajit Singh has conferred nine airports to Uttar Pradesh.
Of the nine airports, one will be developed at Fursatganj in Amethi , as well as other airfield in cities of Meerut, Muradabad, Bareilly, Faziabad, Kanpur, Allahabad, Agar and Etwah.
The proposal for eight airports was cleared by the MoCA a fortnight ago, whereas the one at Fursatganj received nod last week. “Airports help in improving the GDP of states and do not get votes. My focus is to uplift the state,” the minister told DNA.
The MoCA said the approval for airports was granted after conducting a detailed study. “A nationwide study was carried out by an independent agency and 100 sites were identified. The eight airports were given the go ahead on the basis of the report,” a senior office from the Airports Authority of India was quoted by the newpaper.
