Greater Noida: The Akhilesh Yadav government may finally be coming around to the idea of reviving the Jewar international airport project, which was planned in Mayawati's regime but got the cold shoulder after the power shift in Lucknow.
A high-level panel will examine the Greater Noida project in Lucknow on February 16, sources said. Likely to be convened by the chief secretary, it will discuss the technical aspects of the project, for which over 2,000 acres of land have already been acquired. A preliminary meeting was held on Tuesday in Lucknow to set the agenda.
The chief minister himself indicated the government was no longer indifferent to the Jewar project at an event on Tuesday in Bulandhahr, saying that if the Centre takes a decision to establish an international airport in the state, he would extend his support.
