The Uttar Pradesh government has approached the Centre for its approval to rename Bareilly airport to 'Nath Nagri', which is believed to be an ancient name of the city which had worshippers of Lord Shiva. It has also proposed renaming Kanpur's Chakeri airport after freedom fighter Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi and Agra airport after RSS leader Deendayal Upadhyaya.
