Lucknow: After renaming the iconic Mughalsarai railway station after RSS thinker Deendayal Upadhyay, the ruling BJP government has approached the Centre for its approval to rename three airports—those in , Kanpur and Agra.
While all three are defence airports, the state government and the Airports Authority of India are in the process of constructing civil enclaves here to facilitate flyers under the regional connectivity scheme.
According to a proposal from the UP civil aviation department, the is proposed to be named ‘Nath Nagri’ airport. Nath Nagri is believed to be an ancient name of the city for its history of having ardent worshippers of Lord Shiva—a feature closely associated with the Nath sect, to which CM also belongs.
UP’s civil aviation minister Nand Gopal Nandi said that renaming of the three airports was awaited for long.
“We have reached out to the Centre to get the airports renamed. A meeting with the Union ministry of civil aviation is expected soon,” he said. He also added The proposal speaks about Bareilly in great detail. It says that the city is surrounded on all sides by as many as seven Lord Shiva temples—Alakhnath, Trivatinath, Marhinath, Dhopeshwarnath, Vankhandinath, Tapeshwarnath and Pashupatinath.
