Objection raised to selection of heliport site near Akshardham
The Union Government's plan to construct a heliport near the sprawling new Akshardham Temple on the Yamuna floodplains in the Capital has set off a wave of concern among activists fighting to save the grand old river. Reacting to the Central Government's statement that a suitable location was being sought near the Akshardham Temple for construction of the heliport, members of the Yamuna Jiye Abhiyan have written to Delhi's Lieutenant-Governor Tejendra Khanna to draw attention to the destruction of natural resource that the proposed construction would cause.
