Chandigarh, Feb 8 (IANS) Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal Monday urged Defence Minister A.K. Antony to immediately grant approval for setting up the National Defence University in Mohali town of Punjab.

Badal met Antony at his official residence in New Delhi Monday.

'The Punjab government has already offered to provide land for establishing the defence university in Mohali. A high-level delegation of the Indian Army has already visited and selected the site of 125 acres in Sector 92,' the Punjab government spokesperson said here.

He added: 'However, after that there has been no further development. Badal has apprised our union defence minister about this and assured him of all support and help in this venture.'

Mohali is around 10 km from Chandigarh.
