Adampur Domestic Airport!

awesome !!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

[proactive]

The guy is a joke. They've announced airports before at Halwara, Mohali and now at Adampur. What Punjab needs is a decent International airport and yet the bandar can't even manage that but makes big announcements every day.

What happened to his father's plan to make Punjab into California and to make their rule the same as the rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh?

One question, is Delhi...New Delhi..considered a part of Punjab in India? Or it is 'federal territory' ?

What is the largest commercial hub/center of Indian Punjab?

Delhi is a Union territory. Not part of any state. Largest urban city in Punjabi is probably Ludhiana

[singhbj singh]

Delhi, the capital of India, became a state in 1992 under the national capital territory Act. Under this system of diarchy, the elected Government is given wide powers; except law and order that remain with the central Government.

While Delhi still has to attain the status of a ‘full state’, it does have its own Legislative Assembly, High Court etc

Some parts of the administration are directly controlled by the Central government – like the Delhi Police, which comes under the purview of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs.

Punjab created industry near Delhi (factories, warehouse etc) before India took away in 50's by creating two states additional states from Punjab. Now all that industry is in Haryana state.

Politicians of Punjab are stupid and they create such fake news/scheme without shame gives me bit shock. Nothing is going to come up as we all know about such airports. They cannot even maintain profitability of Amritsar airport who got international airport status in 80's.

What these basal are doing is to announce such news to favor his or his friends piggy banks. Such announcements increase land value nearby and these ppl owns hundreds of acres and they loot ppl by selling them after creating fake press releases.
