Air ticket counters reopen in J&K

Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir administration has set up airline counters at the Tourist Reception Centre (TRC) to facilitate booking of tickets, which was difficult due to snapping of internet and phone communication in the Valley, for over 20 days now.

The counters will be open from 8 am to 8 pm and will be fully functional by Tuesday evening, according to senior officials.

GoAir, Indigo, SpiceJet, Vistara and Air Asia posters were seen at the TRC.

Since August 5 there was a clampdown on internet and telephonic communication in the Valley. Residents faced inconvenience and were forced to go to the airport and book tickets. Now, they will be able to track information and take print-outs at these counters.

"We are putting lease line [for internet]. To ease problems, residents can now book tickets from these counters. We hope to be fully functional by the evening," said Nisar Ahmad Wani, director, Department of Tourism, Government of Jammu and Kashmir.

Sources in the administration confirmed that a meeting took place with airlines representatives on Monday evening.
