The privatization of Air India resulted in a slight delay in the finalization of tenders by the BSF, which is the nodal agency for handling Air Courier Service.On April 8, the MHA issued a statement mentioning that it had already granted approval for the continuation of these services by Air India, and that "the tender has also been finalised and orders are under the issue"."The amount due on account of air travel would also be paid as per rules," the MHA statement mentioned then.That statement came after Congress demanded that air transit services be restored and also an apology from the government for "risking" the lives of soldiers.In a statement then, Congress general secretary and chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala had said that the country lost 44 of its brave soldiers of the CRPF in the Pulwama terror attack in Kashmir on February 14, 2019, due to the suspension of the same air courier service. He also alleged that the attack happened because the CRPF personnel were going by buses to join duty through this very sensitive area.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
