The Punjab and Haryana governments have agreed to rename Chandigarh's international airport after freedom struggle icon Shaheed Bhagat Singh.
The airport's terminal building falls in Punjab's Mohali town. The ₹ 485-crore airport project is a joint venture of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the governments of Punjab and Haryana.
The Punjab government has already declared a state holiday on March 23, the martyrdom day of legendary freedom fighter Bhagat Singh.
