CII hails Centre's decision to modernise Srinagar airport

Jammu: Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has welcomed the initiative taken by the government for developing Srinagar airport to an international one, which is likely to go operational by year end.
This step of the central government will not only connect the state to the rest of the world but would also help in growing trade and commerce of Jammu and Kashmir with rest of the world through direct linkages, a press release issued by state council of CII has said here on Friday.
Industrialists of the state are looking forward to these international flights so as to boost their trade, as direct flights to various destinations will help saving both time and money, it said.
Direct market linkages would help them to trade better and with limited involvement of middlemen, it said, adding perishable items like fruits, vegetables, flowers etc could be directly exported to the foreign countries, hence curbing huge losses every year.
