People can obtain entry passes for the IAF show, to be held at Sukhna Lake on October 6 and 8, on “Chandigarh Tourism App”, which was launched by UT Adviser Dharam Pal today.

The Adviser said the entire Sukhna Lake area had been divided into seven zones with separate entry staircases for the show. General public, while booking entry passes, would have the option of selecting alighting (parking) points of their choice.

Advisory regarding the protocol to be followed for attending the air show is also mentioned on the app.

The CTU shuttle service will be provided for pick and drop-off from the alighting points to the designated zones at Sukhna Lake and back, for which an online payment of Rs 20 can be made through the app.

The public will have to be seated by 2 pm and the programme would start at 2.30 pm and continue till 5pm on each day. The lake area would have a capacity of nearly 35,000 people each day.
