Thousands of people, including women and children, on Thursday reached Jewar amid heavy security as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to lay the foundation stone for the Noida International Airport.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and his cabinet colleagues, including the state’s Civil Aviation Minister Nand Gopal Gupta, will attend the event.
The Greenfield airport, which will be built near Delhi in western Uttar Pradesh, is billed to be India’s largest upon completion.
