The Sri Guru Ram Dass International Airport here is getting a step motherly treatment from the SAD-led state government as well as the BJP-led Central Government.
Making the allegations, Kulwant Singh, president, Ankhi Amritsar Vikas Manch, an NGO, said the government was focused to get international flights from Mohali rather than Amritsar despite the latter’s reputation as a global tourist destination.
“The Amritsar airport is second only to the Delhi airport, having world class facilities, including 12,000-ft longest runway equal to the Delhi airport with the Cat III B-ILS System, which would be functional from March 2017, an ultramodern terminal building and 1400 acres for future expansion. The airport is not receiving a positive response from the state as well as the Central governments,” he said in a statement released today.
He said the present government did nothing to resume the Amritsar-London-Toronto flight which was suspended in 2009 by Air India despite being the most successful flight in the annals of the Air India’s history.
