Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday met Union Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri in connection with development works and infrastructure facilities for Ayodhya, Chitrakoot and Sonbhadra (Myorpur) airports.
In the last three-and-a-half years, development works are being done in 17 airports in Uttar Pradesh. Earlier, only two airports were operational here, but currently seven airports are functioning, Adityanath said while addressing the meeting via video conferencing.
“Once all 17 airports are operational, the civil aviation facility will increase. Better air connectivity will boost tourism, create employment opportunities on a large scale and the state will develop rapidly,” he said.
