Kangra: A proposal has been sent to change the name of Gaggal Airport to Dharamshala Kangra Airport. It should be noted that same proposal was sent in the last meeting but no action was taken. The said airport is known as Kangra Gaggal Airport, while the airport ticket has Dharamshala written on it.
In such a situation, confusion also arises among the tourists, due to which they face problems. Because of this, a proposal has been sent to the state after agreeing to name it as Dharamshala Kangra Airport. After getting approval from the state cabinet, it will be sent to the central government.
A meeting of the Kangra Gaggal Airport Advisory Committee was organized by the Airports Authority of India in the Secretariat Building Dharamshala on Tuesday. It was chaired by Kangra-Chamba MP Dr. Rajiv Bhardwaj. Dharamshala MLA Sudhir Sharma, Shahpur MLA Kewal Singh Pathania and Deputy Commissioner Kangra along with officials and other members of various departments were present in it.
While discussing about connecting flights to new areas from Kangra Gaggal Airport, a proposal has also been made to send a flight to Amritsar. For this, Dr. Rajiv Bhardwaj talked about talking to the Union Minister.
