3. पश्चिमी यूपी को मिलेगा एयरपोर्ट
पिछले काफी लंबे समय से पश्चिमी उत्तर प्रदेश में एक एयरपोर्ट की मांग रही है, मायावती सरकार ने जेवर में एयरपोर्ट को मंजूरी दी थी. लेकिन अखिलेश यादव की सरकार आगरा में एयरपोर्ट बनाना चाहती थी, अब योगी सरकार ने जेवर में एयरपोर्ट बनाने पर दोबारा विचार किया है. उम्मीद जताई जा रही है कि जेवर में जल्द ही एयरपोर्ट बनाने को लेकर एलान हो सकता है. आपको बता दें कि जेवर नोएडा के पास है, जो कि केंद्रीय मंत्री महेश शर्मा का संसदीय क्षेत्र है. और गृहमंत्री राजनाथ सिंह के बेटे पंकज सिंह का विधानसभा क्षेत्र भी है.
