The Union minister has written a letter in this regard to Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation Jayant Sinha and informed him that she was continuously receiving requests from Punjabis as well as NRIs regarding the difficulties being faced by them due to non availability of direct flight connectivity between Birmingham and Amritsar.
