Srinagar, December 20^th

Passengers travelling through Chandigarh International Airport are facing serious inconvenience due to the lack of basic amenities. Concerns have been raised over the closure of the international lounge, absence of drinking water facilities, and non-operation of duty-free services.

Dr. Anshu Kataria, President, Punjab Unaided Colleges Association (PUCA) and Chairman, Aryans Group of Colleges, Rajpura (near Chandigarh), who was leading a PUCA delegation to Dubai, urged airport authorities and the concerned ministries to take immediate and effective steps to restore all essential and promised facilities for passengers.

Supporting the demand, PUCA members including  Ashwani Garg and  Ashok Garg from Swami Vivekanand Group of Institutions, along with S. Gurpreet Singh from Universal Group of Institutions, emphasized that airport services must be streamlined in accordance with international standards. They stated that Chandigarh International Airport caters to passengers from Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and the Union Territory of Chandigarh, and any deficiency in facilities adversely impacts the region’s image at the national and international level.
