In a boost to tourism in Agra which is known worldwide for the iconic Taj Mahal, the Supreme Court on Tuesday modified its December 2019 order and permitted increase of air traffic in the city. The apex court had earlier said the Airports Authority of India (AAI) shall be entitled to construct an additional terminal at the existing airport in Agra but the authority and the Centre shall not grant any permission to increase the traffic at the Agra air field until further orders.
