The Governor said that Udaipur-Chandigarh-Jammu are very important cities for tourism. in view of this a proposal should be prepared to run the Jammu-Tawi train on a daily basis. He also reviewed the progress of the new Amrit stations and new railway lines.
During the meeting, Airport Authority of India officials shared information about the proposed road directly connecting Chandigarh to Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport. They said the construction of this road will reduce the distance from Chandigarh to the airport by 10 km.
BSNL officials also informed the Governor about their ongoing projects.
