Chandigarh, November 10

It seems that the Chandigarh Administration does not acknowledge the existence of the new civil terminal that has become operational in Mohali from October 19, if the absence of the road signage put up by the administration along the route to the new airport is to be believed.

Almost a month after the new civil terminal became operational in Mohali, the UT has failed to come up with new road signage to indicate the commuters to the new airport. While Mohali has put up overhead road signage at different places as one enters Mohali, the UT is yet to do the same.

" While travelling in the UT area, one is still made to believe that the route to the airport is still from the Tribune Chowk to Hallo Majra. Only at one place the marker for airport has been blackened. But it still exists at other places. This confuses the commuters who are not aware of the new route to the airport and are at the mercy of fellow motorists to tell them about the way", said Arbinder Singh, who often flies to Mumbai from the city.

An official said the UT Administration was vying for the Smart City tag should be smart enough to put up signage to guide the ommuters to the new airport.
