Agartala: Hundreds of people flying to Kolkata and Delhi from Agartala and vice versa have been badly hit by the sudden rise in air fares and cancellation of flights over the last few days.
While the opposition Congress criticized the state government for its failure to check rising air ticket prices, the ruling CPM accused the Centre of failing to regulate the aviation industry.
On Wednesday, CPM MP in the Lok Sabha, Jitendra Choudhury, raised the issue demanding immediate intervention of the Union civil aviation ministry to ensure regular movement of flights to and from Agartala besides action against airlines for unnecessary fare hike.
