NEW DELHI, June 3: In an attempt to boost tourism in Ladakh, the first BJP Lok Sabha member from this region has asked for better air connectivity especially for tourists from Gujarat.
“There is a lot of scope and potential for promoting domestic tourism in Leh and Srinagar which needs to be tapped,” Parliament Member Thupstan Chhewang said after meeting Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju Pusapati.
“I have requested the Civil Aviation Minister for starting a direct flight which connects Leh and Srinagar to Gujarat,” he said.
Chhewang said more flights to Leh and Srinagar will help in boosting tourism and generating employment in the state.
Thupstan Chhewang also met Avinash Dikshit, Commissioner, Kendriya Vidhalaya Sangathan, Delhi and asked for special admission for the students of Ladakh.
In the meeting MP highlighted the problems being facing by the students of Ladakh due to poor background of educational facilities in rural and remote areas of Ladakh as compared to the urban areas of the nation. In this regard he asked for some special relaxation in the requirements of admission procedures in K V Schools at national level.
