Noida: Even as the UP government has finalized a consultant to decide on the feasibility of constructing an international airport in Agra, city-based industrialists are unhappy with the decision and have decided to approach the chief minister highlighting their concern. The UP tourism department has approved a consortium of experts and a letter of intent has been issued to the companies.
The director general (tourism) Manoj Kumar Singh met the consultants on November 26 and handed them details of what exactly the state government is looking forward to. Industrialists say that although the international airport in Agra-Mathura circuit will cater to the needs of tourists, it will leave Greater Noida, Noida and Yamuna Expressway industries in a lurch.
