India's Civil Aviation Ministry is doing away with the method of naming airports after famous personalities.

"We have prepared a Cabinet note, which is being sent for inter-ministerial consultations now. We expect the Cabinet to clear it in a month's time," a senior aviation ministry official, who did not want to be identified, told ET.
There was a string of controversies that led the Indian government to decide on doing away with the policy, for instance Chandigarh airport.
Since Chandigarh is capital of both Punjab and Haryana, these states have different names for the airport.
