JAMMU, Nov 5: Former Member Parliament, Dr Karan Singh today appealed the Lt Governor Manoj Sinha to recommend Centre to name the upcoming airport terminal at Jammu after the name of Maharaja Hari Singh.
In a letter to LG Sinha, the former Member Parliament said, “As you know the Jammu airport was first constructed by my father Maharaja Hari Singh for his private plane and was used for several years. Now that the airport has been greatly extended and the new Terminal building is coming up, I feel it would be appropriate if the new building is called the Maharaja Hari Singh Terminal.”
Dr Karan Singh further said, “I wrote to the Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia who said that the request can be considered on the recommendation of the State Government, duly supported by a Resolution passed in the State Legislative Assembly. As we do not have an Assembly at present, perhaps you may like to make a recommendation to the Ministry. I am sure this will be greatly appreciated by the people of Jammu.”
