Kathmandu, December 19
Members of National Assembly’s National Concern and Coordination Committee have told the government it was not necessary to buil an aerocity in Nijgadh, the proposed location of the second international airport.
The committee has directed the government to transfer land set aside for the city to the airport project. The lawmakers argued that the government was using the pretext of the aerocity to fell trees in the area.
Members of the committee, who visited Nijgadh recently, said that cities and villages close to the proposed location should be developed as modern cities instead of building a new aerocity.
The committee has also directed the government to prepare the DPR of the project within this fiscal.
