PM Modi Postpones Halwara Airport Terminal Inauguration
Imagine Ludhiana getting a new airport!
It's like a brand new bus station, but for planes.
The Prime Minister was supposed to open it up on July 27th, but it's been delayed.
This new airport is built next to an Air Force base and will initially host domestic flights.
It can handle 150 people arriving and 150 leaving at the same time.
Before, people in Ludhiana had to travel to other cities like Delhi or Chandigarh to catch international flights, which was inconvenient.
The new airport aims to solve this problem, making travel easier for everyone.
PM Modi's virtual inauguration of the Halwara airport terminal postponed.
The inauguration was initially scheduled for July 27.
The new terminal is near the Indian Air Force base in Halwara, Ludhiana.
It will initially handle one domestic flight at a time, with a capacity of 150 passengers.
The airport fulfills a long-standing demand for an international airport in Ludhiana.
