Union Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia has instructed officials of the Ministry to get in touch with the airline operators regarding air connectivity between Bhubaneswar and Dehradun.
Scindia in a letter to former MP Anang Udaya Singh Deo has said the demand for direct air connectivity between Bhubaneswar and Dehradun has been shared with all scheduled domestic airlines.
Singh Deo had requested Scindia to start direct flights between the capital cities of Odisha and Uttarkhand for benefit of tourists and devotees who visit Chardham and Jagannath Dham all the year round.
Scindia has said that with the repeal of the Air Corporation Act in March, 1994, the Indian domestic aviation was deregulated.
