Besides, the PM will hand over key to the beneficiaries of affordable housing scheme in sector 63 of Chandigarh and also address a convocation of PGIMER here on the same day.
Modi is also expected to address a public rally in the city on September 11, BJP sources said.
Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today held a series of meetings here with the senior leaders of the SAD-BJP including Cabinet Ministers, Chief Parliamentary Secretaries, MLAs besides the officers of the state government to finalise the arrangements, the spokesman said.
He said that with the opening of International airport at Mohali, Punjab has scripted a new chapter of its unending success story.

Badal said that the International Air connectivity from Mohali was all the more important because it would connect the entire Northern region comprising Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu-Kashmir, Uttrakhand and even the Western part of Uttar Pradesh with the rest of the world.
The Chief Minister said that earlier, a large number of passengers from the Northern states were left with no other option but to travel Delhi for boarding the international flights, which not only caused undue harassment to them but also resulted in wastage of time, money and energy.
Badal envisioned the airport as a catalyst to propel Industrialisation in the state besides showcasing Punjab as the most preferred investment destination.
"This is really a momentous occasion for the Punjabis as Modi and other dignitaries would participate in this function, thus all of us should strive hard to make it a gala event," he added.
Meanwhile, the Chief Minister deputed the Education Minister and Secretary Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) Daljit Singh Cheema and his advisor Tikshan Sud to supervise the arrangements and logistics for organising this mega event.
