Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Punjab on February 1. According to the official release, PM Modi will visit Adampur Airport at approximately 3:45 pm, where he will unveil its new name, Sri Guru Ravidas Ji Airport, Adampur. Additionally, he will inaugurate the Terminal Building at Halwara Airport in Ludhiana, Punjab.

The renaming of Adampur Airport coincides with the 649th Birth Anniversary of Sant Guru Ravidas Ji, honouring the esteemed saint and social reformer whose teachings of equality, compassion, and human dignity continue to inspire India’s social ethos.

Further enhancing aviation infrastructure in the state, the Terminal Building at Halwara Airport, inaugurated by the Prime Minister, will serve as a new gateway for Ludhiana and its surrounding industrial and agricultural areas. Halwara, located in the Ludhiana district, also hosts a strategically important Indian Air Force station.

To improve connectivity and accommodate larger planes, a new civil enclave has been developed at Halwara with a longer runway capable of handling A320-type aircraft.

The terminal incorporates numerous green and energy-efficient features, such as LED lighting, insulated roofing, rainwater harvesting systems, sewage and water treatment plants, and the use of recycled water for landscaping.
