More than 100 small airports will be developed across the country, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Saturday, noting that cities are the engines of the country's economic development.
"Initially, big cities were connected by air. Now the focus is on connecting smaller cities," he said after laying the foundation stone of the Kishangarh airport in Ajmer district, 120 km from here. He later launched Phase-i of the Jaipur Metro and dedicated to the nation a solar power plant.
