THE UT Administration has decided to hire a consultancy firm to explore the possibility of a shorter route to the Chandigarh International Airport, which is in Mohali, from Chandigarh along with demarcation of city’s jurisdiction in the villages, including Faida which touches boundary with Mohali. An existing shorter route to the Chandigarh International Airport goes through Faida village but the route is very rough. Sources said the route also passes through agricultural land. People cover over 12.50-km from Dakshin Marg to reach Chandigarh International Airport via Mohali.
