Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended wishes on 649th birth anniversary of Sant Guru Ravidas. To celebrate the day, PM will be visiting Punjab today. He will be unveiling the new name of the Adampur Airport as Sri Guru Ravidas Ji Airport, Adampur. As per the offical release, at around 3:45 PM, the Prime Minister will reach airport.

PM Modi’s post on X reads, “Countless salutations to the great saint Shri Guru Ravidas Maharaj ji, the unique devotee of humanity, on his birth anniversary. In his thoughts, the spirit of justice and compassion was supreme, which forms the very foundation of our schemes for public welfare. The lamp of social harmony and goodwill that he ignited will forever continue to illuminate the path of the countrymen."

Additionally, PM will also inaugurate the Terminal Building at Halwara Airport in Ludhiana, Punjab. This new terminal will establish a new gateway for the State, serving Ludhiana and its surrounding industrial and agricultural hinterland.

Located in the Ludhiana district, Halwara is also home to a strategically important Indian Air Force station. The earlier airport at Ludhiana had a relatively small runway, suitable for small-size aircrafts. To improve connectivity and accommodate larger aircraft, a new civil enclave has been developed at Halwara, which has a longer runway capable of handling A320-type aircraft.
