Chandigarh: Haryana, one of the stakeholders in Chandigarh International Airport, is struggling hard to get shorter access route to the airport in Mohali for residents of Panchkula, who have to travel long distances to reach it.
The issue, which Haryana had raised in the previous year’s Northern Zonal Council, now seems to have a viable solution — the Indian Air Force (IAF) has suggested that a road be constructed between the old and the new terminal buildings along the outerside of the boundary wall of its airbase. As per the proposal, this passage can be constructed after removing existing unauthorized constructions falling within 100 metres from the IAF base boundary wall.
The proposal, according to IAF, would resolve three issues — save estimated cost of Rs 1,357 crore for construction of a proposed underpass to shorten the route, save the airbase from security threat due to construction of the proposed underpass and remove unauthorized constructions within 100 metres of the airbase boundary wall.
The proposal was tabled by IAF officials in the last civil-military liaison conference led by UT administrator V P Singh Badnore and also in the Northern Zonal Council meeting chaired by Union home minister Amit Shah in September last. The proposal, however, is pending for fresh consideration by all the stakeholders.
