Chandigarh International Airport
- Haryana and Punjab mutually agreed to rename the Chandigarh International Airport after freedom fighter Bhagat Singh.
- The naming of the Chandigarh International Airport has been a contentious issue between Punjab and Haryana for long.
- In 2017, the Punjab government demanded that the airport be named ‘Shaheed-e-Azam Sardar Bhagat Singh International Airport, Mohali’.
- While the Haryana government did not have any objection to the use of Bhagat Singh’s name, its objection was to the suffix ‘Mohali’. Since then the controversy over the name has continued.
- Notably, Chandigarh International Airport’s terminal complex is in Mohali town of Punjab. The airport is a joint venture between the Airports Authority of India (AAI) and the governments of Haryana and Punjab.
75 years of diplomatic relations between Egypt and India
- Egypt Post on August 18 released a commemorative postage stamp to celebrate 75 years of diplomatic relations between Egypt and India that were established with Egypt’s recognition of the independence of India on 18 August 1947, just three days after India’s independence.
- Over millennia, Egypt and India have long been bound together with historic ties in all fields. This was made possible thanks to the trade contacts between the two ancient civilizations that grew along the banks of the river Nile and the river Indus.
