  • Punjab CM inaugurates flight from Hindon to Ludhiana

Ludhiana, Sep 6 (IANS) Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Wednesday inaugurated to and fro flight from Hindon to Ludhiana, resuming air traffic from the Ludhiana airport after a gap of more than two years.

He announced that for initial three months air travel fare from Ludhiana to National Capital Region (NCR) will be merely Rs 999.
