Bhubaneswar: The Union Cabinet on Thursday gave an in-principle approval to name the Jharsuguda airport in Odisha after the eminent freedom fighter Veer Surendra Sai.
This was informed by the Union Tribal Affairs minister Jual Oram, who in his Tweeter post thanked the Prime Minister.
I thank Hon PM Shri @narendramodi Ji for giving approval on the renaming of newly built #JharsugudaAirports as Veer Surendra Sai Airport. It’s now named after well-known freedom fighter & Son of Soil.
It may be mentioned here that the people of Jharsuguda had demanded that the Jharsuguda airport be named after Veer Surendra Sai.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday had apprised him of the fact that the Centre was yet to issue a notification in this regard.
During the inauguration of the airport, PM Modi had announced that the airport would be named after Veer Surendra Sai as a befitting tribute to the freedom fighter.
He had dedicated the airport to the nation and flagged off a UDAN flight operated by Air Odisha on September 22.
