The travel portals and airlines have been witnessing a considerable increase in bookings and travel queries on Srinagar sector by the forces personnel.
The rise in bookings and queries has come after government of India recently approved air travel for low-ranking officials of the central reserve police force, national security guards and other forces from Delhi to Srinagar, Srinagar to Jammu and vice-versa “to lessen the threat of attacks on the forces’ convoys and reduce vehicular pressure on highway”.
A travel portal based in Maharashtra, the only dedicated portal for armed forces in the country, expects the travel bookings by the armed forces to further increase as “the situation in Valley becomes stable”, said a senior official of the company, wishing not to be named.
