Since then, the stranding passengers have been attending airport daily in the morning but returning in evening disappointed.
One Hamida Banoo said that her daughter failed to get admission in Jammu due to apathy of airforce. Another student passenger, Mohammad Mustafa said that he had proposed to complete his studies but the AN32 has washed his dreams. “It is strange that AN32 has been landing in Kargil for Army for last few days but they did not allow civilians”, he added.
