UK MP Tanmanjeet Dhesi calls on Union Ministers Hardeep Puri, Som Parkash

Chandigarh, Aug 22 (UNI) UK Member of Parliament Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi on Thursday visited union Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri MP and Commerce & Industry Minister Som Parkash in New Delhi. He appraised the ministers about the long-pending demand from the large NRI diaspora and those within the Punjab for direct flights between Amritsar and London. He emphasized that the best way to initiate direct flights would be for the national carrier Air India to demonstrate leadership by initiating this route, before other international airlines too realise that it would be hugely beneficial for them and travellers.
During the meeting minister Som Parkash said “I certainly favour more direct flights, as that will boost commerce, trade and tourism within the Punjab and neighbouring states. We listened intently to the details of the demand and my colleague Mr Puri assured MP Dhesi that the union government will try to ensure it happens at the earliest possible opportunity.”
On the occasion Civil Aviation Minister Puri informed that he would look into the matter with his officials to see what could be done. He certainly wanted the “Guru ki nagri” (the Guru’s town) Amritsar to progress and become a stronger gateway for North India and beyond.
