BSP MPs meet PM to demand early approval to Jevar airport

New Delhi: BSP MPs today met prime minister Manmohan Singh here to demand early approval to the Jevar airport in Greater Noida and supply of coal linkages to Uttar Pradesh government's power plants to meet energy needs.
After their half-hour meeting with Singh in Parliament House, BSP leader in the Rajya Sabha S C Mishra told reporters that the airport would benefit the areas from Noida to Agra, apart from improving international tourism in the state.
Mishra said the proposal for the airport was pending for the last seven years and it was with the Group of Ministers on Aviation for the last three years despite the UP government agreeing to conditions laid down by private players operating the Delhi airport.
He said the prime minister assured the BSP MPs that the GoM would soon meet to take a decision on the airport proposal.
