Mann government should not scuttle move to commence direct Amritsar-Canada flights, says NGO

The Amritsar Vikas Manch (AVM), a non-governmental organisation (NGO), has expressed concern over Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s directive to the state civil aviation department to approach the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation to start direct international flights from Mohali International Airport to destinations including Canada, the US and the UK.

“This advisory seems to be a hidden conspiracy to scuttle the recent move in Canada to start Amritsar-Toronto and Amritsar-Vancouver direct flights,” the AVM said, alleging that the government was ignoring the development of Sri Guru Ram Dass Ji International Airport at Amritsar.
