SP scraps Mayawati’s Gr Noida airport project

Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh government has scrapped the Greenfield international airport project at Jewar mooted by the previous Mayawati government citing unavailability of Centre's clearance for it.

"The state government has decided to scrap the project as we are not getting clearances for it from the Centre. We are planning to develop an international airport between Agra and Mathura", a senior official said.

He said the process of identifying land would be completed within a month and process of land acquisition would start after that.

The airport project at Jewar, which is less than 100 kms from Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, has not been given clearance as it flouted the rule that no airport can be constructed within 150 km from an existing airport.

Despite repeated requests, the BSP government could not get a go ahead for the project.

biggest mistake of my life investing in greater noida. cheated by politicians and archiacal rules . diffirent state , diffirent business region, what has 100 / 150 km got to do with this. The need must drive the location and not statistical figure. SP has only gven up this project and not pursued because this was Maya`s child. UP is destined for dooms day with criminals and selfish keaders running the state. What are the courts of india doing. What is Greater Noida industrial asso doing. They need to rock the centre with genuine businees case and get this airport through . Politicians are only making thier pound of flesh.

although, SP is against BSP in public, but internally both stand on same plateform. SP is following the buisiness model of BSP. As BSP already mint money from this area, its natural that SP would require a new feild to play. Its business

Congratulations! All natives of greater noida and adjacent area. Specially for Bhatta Parsaul residents who should be happy that you have achieved the target with the help of Rahul Gandhi and Mulayam Singh. Enjoy the undeveloped world of yours.
