Days after Haryana and Punjab mutually agreed to rename the Chandigarh International Airport after freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, the issue is back in the spotlight.
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the Punjab Lok Congress, led by former Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh (retd.) have asked the Punjab government to clarify its stand on the demand by Haryana to add ‘Panchkula’ to the name of the airport.
Terming the demand “outrageous”, SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Monday asked Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to break his silence on the issue.
