In a U-turn, Union Minister Mahesh Sharma today said the government has not cleared any proposal to set up a second airport in the national capital, less than a month after saying that Civil Aviation Ministry has approved a second airport in the national capital region.
In a written reply to the Rajya Sabha, Sharma -- Minister of State for Civil Aviation -- responded in the negative to a query on whether the government has cleared a proposal for setting up a second airport in the national capital.
To another question on whether it is a fact that the Ministry has taken a decision, in the last month of June, for development of Jewar airport in Noida, he said "no".
On June 26, Sharma had said the Ministry has cleared a proposal for a second airport in the national capital region to ease the burden on the Indira Gandhi International Airport.
