Lucknow: Legislators can now avail free air travel facility in their choice of airlines. Currently, however, the coupons provided to them enable travel by Indian Airlines or Jet flights only.
Replying to a question in the Assembly, Parliamentary Affairs minister Azam Khan announced that members can now fly in their choice of airline.
The issue was raised by Congress MLA Pramod Tiwari through a question of propriety. Tiwari told the House that the state government pays for the railway coupons provided to MLAs. His plea was that there is no discount for MLAs who are under the category of senior citizens. Besides, there is no surety for getting confirmed railway tickets for the legislatures either.
