PM Modi to visit Punjab on February 1

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Punjab on Sunday, February 1, 2026, to unveil the renaming of Adampur airport in Jalandhar district as 'Sri Guru Ravidas Ji' Airport and inaugurate the terminal building at Halwara Airport in Ludhiana. The occasion marks the 649th birth anniversary of Guru Ravidas, a revered saint and social reformer whose teachings inspire India’s social ethos, and is significant politically as it reflects the party’s outreach to Dalit voters ahead of the Punjab Assembly elections due in early 2027. The new terminal at Halwara Airport will serve as a gateway for Punjab, strengthening its aviation infrastructure by accommodating larger aircraft. The Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Undertakings expressed satisfaction with the airport's development.
