GREATER NOIDA, March 23 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday directed officials to ensure that visitors do not face inconvenience during the inauguration of the Noida International Airport by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 28. With around 1.5 lakh people expected to attend the event, the chief minister conducted an on-site review of preparations and held meetings with senior officials and public representatives from Gautam Buddh Nagar and neighbouring districts, including Bulandshahr and Hapur. Yogi inspected key areas, including the passenger terminal, cargo building, parking sites, rally ground and helipad. He also reviewed the route plan and security arrangements for the Prime Minister's visit. "In view of the proposed programme of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Gautam Buddh Nagar, I conducted an on-site inspection of the Noida International Airport, reviewed the preparations, and held a meeting with officials concerned and public representatives, issuing necessary directions," the chief minister's office posted on X. Chairing a review meeting at the airport auditorium, the CM directed all departments to work in coordination and complete arrangements within stipulated timelines. "The arrangements must be well-organised and effective, considering the expected presence of public representatives, distinguished guests, media, and a large number of citizens at the inauguration programme," the chief minister said. He emphasised that essential services, including connectivity, cleanliness, uninterrupted power supply, drinking water, sanitation, security and traffic management, must be ensured to facilitate smooth movement and comfort of visitors. District magistrate (DM) Medha Roopam told Hindustan Times that special focus was being laid on parking arrangements, with provisions such as mobile toilets, help desks, drinking water and medical facilities. Adequate deployment of police, administrative personnel and volunteers has also been planned, the DM added. During the meeting, officials from the administration and police presented plans, detailing security arrangements, parking, traffic management, and alternative routes. A four-tier security system will be implemented for the event. Sources said the state government had set a target turnout of around 1.5 lakh people, with preparations underway at the venue, including installation of a large tent near the terminal building. "The chief minister has directed the party workers not only from Gautam Buddh Nagar district but also from nearby districts to invite people because at least 1.5 lakh people will attend this mega event. It will be historic because Noida International Airport will fuel economy not only in western UP but also in the entire region surrounding Jewar - including Rajasthan and Haryana. Therefore we are mobilising our workers to make this event a grand one," Jewar MLA Thakur Dhirendra Singh said while talking to HT after the meeting....
