Airport message
The recent closure of Srinagar Airport for runway carpeting is one more example of hegemony of Indian establishment.One sure doubts the intent behind the timing of closure.There were few options to keep Airport functional while repairing the air strip or at the worst reschedule the repairs after Eid. Defense Ministry has been treating people of Valley as second class citizens.
To avoid any such mess in future, Srinagar Airport should be run by AAI rather than IAF. There should be one more air strip built for IAF or the operations of the Force should be exclusively run from Awantipura. No International Air port is run by Air Force any where in the world and Kashmir should not be the exception.
