Centre to decide airport in Nalanda: Nitish

Patna: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today said though the state government had asked the authorities to look for acquiring land in Nalanda district, it was for Centre to take a decision on the issue. "We have asked the authorities concerned to look for acquiring land in Nalanda Pawapuri area for setting up a new airport there. But it is for the civil aviation ministry and Airports Authority of India to take a final view on the issue," Kumar told reporters on the sidelines of his janata darbar programme. Chief minister said the state government had earlier suggested to further expand the airport in Patna towards Phulwari Sharif site but the proposal was not accepted by Centre.
