Yodi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government has given a major push to the flagship Jewar Airport project as the state cabinet on Tuesday (28 May) sanctioned Rs 894 crore for the resettlement and rehabilitation of families that will be displaced due to the project, reports Livemint.
The development gains significance as it will clear the path for the land acquisition process to be expedited for the Greenfield International Airport, situated in Jewar, in UP’s Gautam Buddh Nagar. The cabinet also approved the decision to float a global tender for the project as per the timeline proposed by the Project Monitoring and Implementation Committee (PMIC).
It should be noted though that over a hundred farmers, most of them from Kishorpur, had approached the Allahabad High Court in February 2019 requesting their lands be returned back to them. The court, however, rejected their petition.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
