JAMMU: The things which are in offing for J&K in the civil aviation sector are all set to pace-up the development process in the coming days.
This was stated by Abhinav Sharma, Spokesperson BJP J&K in a statement issued to media persons here today.
Abhinav said this in reference with the statement given by Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia, that a civil enclave (airport) will be built in Jammu at a cost of Rs 861 crore and Srinagar’s present terminal will be expanded three times from 20,000 square meters to 60,000 square meters at a cost of Rs 1500 crore.
He said that a few years ago when the successive governments led by so-called J&K centric parties were sitting at helm no one would have thought to get such colossal projects for the region.
He said that improved civil aviation is the benchmark for the economic growth of any region and sooner than later, J&K will get a business boom and other facilities due to increased air connectivity through heli-services, which can prove to be the game changer for the economy of the region changing its development profile upto the last mile of the Union Territory.
