Jewar Airport: On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for Asia’s biggest airport! As Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia joined the foundation laying ceremony for the Noida International Airport, he said it was PM Modi’s direction that Asia’s biggest airport has to be constructed in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
