'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.'
