DEFENSE
A temporary helipad is under construction in Mohali's Phase 8 at a cost of ₹50 lakh to facilitate VIP movement, despite conflicting reports regarding the request from the deputy commissioner's office. The helipad, set to be completed by January 13 and located near a VIP guest house, will be secured with barbed wire and requires Indian Air Force approval for operations due to its proximity to the airport.
