The state government has prepared the blue print for the airport at Adampur, Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal said at a rally in Jamsher near here, after laying the foundation stone of various development projects worth Rs 50 crore.
He said the new airport would prove a boon for the whole region as it would facilitate businessmen and traders as well as NRIs from the Doaba region.
Sukhbir said he is in constant touch with the Union Ministry for Civil Aviation for necessary approvals.
Modi is expected to visit the state next month to address a public meeting.
Badal also laid the foundation stone of a storm sewer from PAP Chowk to BSF Chowk and a four-lane bypass from Jalandhar-Phagwara Road to Jalandhar-Nakodar Road at village Jamsher.
