Aviation Min. Scindia praises Trivandrum and Kochi airports

New Delhi: Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Wednesday praised Trivandrum and Kochi airports for allowing technical landing of more than 120 aircrafts bound for Sri Lanka.
“Kudos Trivandrum & Kochi airports for demonstrating the Indian spirit of वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्! The airports have gone beyond their call of duty by allowing technical landing to 120+ aircraft bound for Sri Lanka. The gesture will go a long way in furthering ties with our neighbour,’ the minister tweeted.
The economic crisis in the island nation has been deepening over the last many months. Not only have prices of essentials skyrocketed but their supplies have been dwindling. Angry and agitated over the worsening economic situation, people have been protesting against the government. The angry protesters last week stormed into the Presidential Palace. Amid growing public wrath President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has been reported to have fled the country and landed in Maldives.
With the situation going out of control, Sri Lanka has declared a State of Emergency. In order to avoid the economic hardships and the possible civil unrest, some Sri Lankans have been reported to have come to India. (UNI)
