Involve Haryana, HP in airport project: MLA
Tribune News Service

Ludhiana, September 8
Kila Raipur MLA Jassi Khangura has urged Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal to involve the state governments of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and the administration of the union territory Chandigarh in the proposed airport project.

In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister, Khangura said the proposed international airport at Mohali would be too small to cater to the growing needs of the region. He said the 250 acres would not at all be a futuristic proposition.

He observed that ideally an international airport should have an area of at least 1000 acres with an expansion scope up to 4000 acres in the coming 50 years with an area of about 50,000 acres for residential and industrial development in the vicinity. He said such an airport could cater to the needs of the three states and the union territory.

Khangura said it would be best if Punjab evolves a consensus on the issue with other states. He pointed out that since international airports are not developed so frequently, there is a need to plan it in such a way that it could cater to the growing needs of trade and traffic for another 50 years.
