Chandigarh airport is Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport now

Chandigarh International Airport was Wednesday renamed Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport on the legendary freedom fighter’s birth anniversary.

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman unveiled the plaque in a ceremony held at the airport.

“Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav is reaching all corners of the country. Every time we see the faces of our worthy freedom fighters, their names on our public buildings, we remember the sacrifices done by their generations. We don’t take our freedom for granted,” Sitharaman said on the occasion.
