Brushing aside all doubts over the Multimodal International Hub Airport at Nagpur (MIHAN) project, Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC) Managing Director R C Sinha has said no experts can wish Nagpur away as the chosen destination for India’s international air passenger and cargo hub.

Sinha was reacting to The Indian Express report last week about MIHAN being mired in doubts in the light of the report by a Planning Commission expert committee headed by former member Anwarhul Hoda that New Delhi should be the ideal choice for setting up the international air hub of the country. Talking to The Indian Express, Sinha said, “Nagpur as the international air hub has been okayed by the Union Cabinet and has been announced on the floor of Parliament. No expert opinion can now influence any change in it. Any expert saying anything now doesn’t hold much water.”
