SRINAGAR: Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday reviewed the status of the air connectivity scheme launched by the Government to connect all the far-flung areas of the State to the capital cities, particularly during road blockades.
The subsidised chopper service was launched by the government last year. The aim has been to provide round the year and easy connectivity to the people of these areas in particular students, aged, infirm and other such categories.
The Chief Minister directed the concerned agencies to raise necessary helipad facilities at these places for smooth landing of the choppers. She also directed raising of other requisite infrastructure needed for efficient operation of these services.
Ms Mufti in particular directed clearing bottlenecks in raising airstrips at Kishtwar, Rajouri and at Kargil and sort out the issues with the concerned stakeholders. (AGENCIES)
