Ludhiana: In a major development that would further expedite the ongoing work on the mega civil aviation project, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has given in-principle approval to the pending tasks for the upcoming international airport at Halwara, close to Ludhiana.
The development assumes significance as these approvals were awaiting the AAI nod since long following which several components of the ongoing work to construct a new integrated civil enclave and cargo terminal at Air Force Station in Halwara, which is one of the oldest frontline airbases of the Indian Air Force (IAF), close to Ludhiana, were getting delayed.
This was conveyed by the Union Civil Aviation Secretary, Vumlunmang Vualnam, to Rajya Sabha MP from Ludhiana, Sanjeev Arora, who met him in New Delhi last evening.
Sharing details, the Rajya Sabha MP told The Tribune here on Saturday that he had been pursuing the matter of pending approvals with the Civil Aviation Ministry since long and had been impressing upon the top functionaries to grant the same for paving the way to undertake the balance works at the earliest.
“I called on the Civil Aviation Secretary and briefed him about the issues in details, following which he showed prompt response and accorded the formal approvals of the project, which were lying pending with the ministry for a long time,” Arora disclosed.
