Villagers demand renaming proposed international airport in Jewar after Rajput king Prithviraj Chauhan

The villagers who are being relocated for the construction of Noida International Greenfield Airport in the Jewar area have demanded renaming of the airport after the last Rajput king of Delhi, Prithviraj Chauhan.

The villagers who have been asked to relocate for construction of the world's fourth largest airport in Greater Noida's Jewar area have demanded renaming of the airport after the last Rajput king of Delhi, Prithviraj Chauhan. "Unlike what happened in many land acquisitions in Noida, we didn't create any trouble and the acquisition process is being completed very smoothly. Since most of those who are being relocated are from the Rajput community, our only demand is to rename the airport as Rajput Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, who was the last Rajput ruler of Delhi as well as this area," said Sunil Singh, a local resident.
