The move to provide an alternative route to the Chandigarh airport has trudged ahead with the President of India granting working permission to the Union Territory for permanent transfer of defence land at the airport.
The Ministry of Defence has already sent a communication to the Chief of Air Staff and the Director-General Defence Estates on grant of working permission to the international airport for the construction of the alternative route and the no-objection certificate to construct the road within 100 metres from defence boundary.
