The Northern Zonal Council (NZC) has dropped the issue of renaming the existing civil air terminal in Chandigarh after no consensus could be reached on it during a meeting held under the chairmanship of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Solving the controversy over renaming of the airport was one of the important agendas of the 29th meeting of the council held in the city on September 20 last year.
Sources said the governments of Haryana and Punjab refused to change their stand on the issue despite an intervention by the Union Home Minister.
