Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Shivamogga airport with a lotus-shaped terminal and lay the foundation for various development projects in Belagavi.
The inauguration of the Shivamogga airport coincides with the BJP strongman and former chief minister B S Yediyurappa’s 80th birthday in his hometown.
The two cities of Karnataka have decked up to receive the Prime Minister with festoons, party flags, banners and posters.
A thick security blanket has been thrown in Belagavi where the Prime Minister is scheduled to hold a roadshow.
According to an official statement, the Prime Minister will arrive at the Shivamogga airport at about 11 am.
