Cabinet clears proposal to name Ayodhya airport after Maharishi Valmiki
The Union Cabinet on Friday approved the proposal to name Ayodhya airport as ‘Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, Ayodhyadham’.
Besides, at the Cabinet meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it was also decided to declare the airport as an international airport.
Modi inaugurated the airport on December 30.
“The airport’s name ‘Maharishi Valmiki International Airport, Ayodhyadham’ pays homage to Maharishi Valmiki, the sage attributed to composing the epic Ramayana, adding a cultural touch to the airport’s identity,” an official release said.
