Delhi-Leh air fare to cross Rs 30k, complaints pour on social media
Air fare to Leh from Delhi has skyrocketed in the last couple of days, and a ticket costs over Rs 30,000.
Officials said that the closure of the Srinagar-Leh road route is the main reason behind the spiralling of air fares to Leh.
A flight ticket from Delhi to Leh on February 18 was quoted at Rs 33,000. The airfare was found in the similar range for a ticket on February 19.
MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal raised the matter of exorbitant airfare in the Parliament on Monday, and sought the government’s intervention to redress the grievances of the stranded passengers immediately.
