The AN-32 Courier Service of Indian Air Force will start to operate in Kargil from the first week of December.”The service will remain operational as per the requirements of Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), Kargil during the winter season after closure of the only surface link Srinagar-Kargil-Leh National Highway,” said Advisor to the Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Qamar Ali Akhoon at a high level meeting here following the requisition made by LAHDC, Kargil for start of IAF Sorties.
After discussing the pros and cons for smooth operation of the service, it was decided that the AN-32 Courier Service shall operate as per past practice from Srinagar to Kargil and back thrice in a week on every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, while as it will also operate from Jammu to Kargil and back once in a week on every Tuesday.
It was also decided in the meeting that in view of heavy rush of passengers at Jammu, the government will take up the matter with the Ministry of Defence for operation of one additional sortie from Jammu to Kargil for the convenience of the people who get stranded due to closure of Zojila Pass following heavy snowfall in the area.
The Advisor instructed the Deputy Commissioners of Kargil, Srinagar and Jammu to nominate Liaison Officers in their respective district who can easily be contacted by the people for booking of tickets and other related matters.
The meeting, however, was informed that the routine facilities during passenger stay at Srinagar, Jammu and Kargil including arrangement for additional security personnel, transportation, medical aid facilities shall be provided by the local administration.
Mr Akhoon stressed upon the concerned authorities to maintain close coordination for smooth operation of the much needed service to the border district during the harsh winter season.
