LUCKNOW: The three heliports, being planned in the tourists' towns of Uttar Pradesh, are going to be developed and handed over to private players.
The government has taken a decision to lease out the land in Prayagraj, Mathura and Agra, where basic civil works to construct the heliports has been completed, to private agencies or investors. Though initially the Public Works Department was asked to construct and commission the heliports, owing to the delayed timeline of execution and cost escalation the cabinet on April 19 took a decision to go ahead with operations of the heliports under the public-private-partnership model.
