Punjab Vidhan Sabha Wednesday unanimously passed a resolution to request the Centre to name the upcoming International Airport at Indian Air force Station Halwara, Ludhiana, as Shaheed Kartar Singh Sarabha International Airport. The resolution was moved by CM Bhagwant Mann during the concluding day of the Budget Session of the Punjab Assembly. It was passed unanimously in the absence of Congress members, who had walked out earlier.
This would be the second airport in Punjab to be named after a martyr. Earlier, Chandigarh international airport was named after Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport.
