In the aftermath of the tragic terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu has taken swift and decisive action to assist affected tourists and victims. The Ministry has initiated a series of relief measures to facilitate evacuation and ensure that no additional burden falls on those impacted.
As part of the immediate response, four special flights have been arranged from Srinagar, two bound for Delhi and two for Mumbai. Additional flights have been placed on standby to accommodate any further evacuation requirements. The arrangements aim to support tourists who wish to return home amid heightened security concerns and emotional distress following the attack.
Minister Naidu, who is personally monitoring the situation round the clock, has been in constant communication with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and other concerned authorities. His office is working in close coordination with the state government and local administration to oversee the relief operations.
In a move to prevent exploitation during this crisis, the Minister convened an urgent meeting with all airline operators and issued a clear advisory against surge pricing. Airlines have been instructed to maintain regular fare levels and ensure that passengers are not subjected to inflated ticket costs during this sensitive period.
Further, the Civil Aviation Ministry has directed all airlines to fully cooperate in the transportation of the deceased victims to their respective home states. Coordination efforts with state governments and district authorities are underway to streamline this process and provide respectful and timely transfers.
“The Ministry of Civil Aviation remains on high alert and is committed to extending every possible assistance to those affected by this horrific act,” said an official statement released by the Ministry on Wednesday morning.
