Hyderabad: The Centre has rejected a proposal to rename Tirupati airport after Lord Venkateswara and the Vijayawada airport after former chief minister N.T. Rama Rao. The ministry of civil aviation said it had not considered these proposals because the policy related to renaming of airports has not been finalised.
“Since the above proposals were received before the formation of the present government (referring to YSRC government), the ministry has requested the state to convey the views of the newly elected government on the above proposals,” minister of state, ministry of civil aviation, Hardeep Singh Puri told Parliament.
