Shimla: Led by Union health minister J P Nadda, BJP MPs from Himachal Pradesh have demanded start of regular flights to Shimla airport, passenger helicopter service between Chandigarh and Shimla, besides starting of heli taxi service in the state. Nadda said that improved air connectivity is must for Himachal in view of the large number of inflow of tourists as well as for putting it on the development map.
This is for the second time in a fortnight that the BJP leaders from the state have raised the issue of air connectivity with the Centre. Earlier, on December 10, former chief minister and leader of opposition Prem Kumar Dhumal had met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi to inform him about the poor air network of state. Dhumal had also demanded expansion of Shimla, Kangra and Kullu airports, besides ensuring regular flights at these airports.
