Jolt for CM as villagers oppose airport at Balh

Mandi: The Balh Bachao Sangharash Samiti has opposed the proposed airport at Balh valley in Mandi district.
The villagers have demanded that the proposed airport be shifted to another place, as the people of Balh valley are not ready to give their ancestral land for the project
It may come as a big jolt to Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur, who has been working hard to set up an international airport in Mandi district to give a boost to the tourism sector.
A few days ago, the Chief Minister had said most probably the airport would be finalised at Balh as the land was adequate for the proposed 5-km long runway between Nagchala to Nerchowk. He also appealed to the public to be ready to sacrifice their land for his dream project.
Today, a group of villagers under the banner of Balh Bachao Sangharash Samiti met Balh MLA Inder Singh Gandhi at his residence and urged him to convince the Chief Minister to shift the proposal of the airport to another place.
