New Delhi, May 21: As transport connectivity remains disrupted due to the flood situation in Assam, an emergency flight service has been started between Guwahati and Silchar under the UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagarik) scheme, which would cost Rs 3,000 per seat, informed Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.
"To deal with the flood situation in Assam, an emergency flight service has been started between Guwahati and Silchar under the UDAN scheme. The cost of an air ticket is only Rs 3,000. It is hoped that this initiative of the government will help the families of the flood victims. @himantabiswa#udan," Scindia tweeted.
