00:00First of all, the purpose of my visit has been to appreciate the efforts of our airport staff

00:05and also the CISF, which has coordinated very well with the armed forces in protecting the airport

00:11and also lifting up the whole morale of the Airport Authority of India and civil aviation.

00:17Because just like the country, we were also very worried when there were news reports saying that

00:23Jammu Airport, there is a lot of activity, drone activity and everything happening around the airport.

00:28So we were very concerned about the infrastructure and the airport.

00:32But the way the airport staff, right from the director to all the people who are working there and in fact CISF,

00:38the way they have shown courage, the way they have handled the situation,

00:43I felt that I had to personally come and visit them and thank them for the kind of attitude that they have shown.

00:48And it is with that purpose that I have come to Jammu and Srinagar.

00:51And the second purpose was that we wanted to start the civil operations just like how it was before the attack.

00:57So we wanted to bring normalcy in the civil aviation connectivity.

01:02And that also we have done.

01:03That also we have done both for Srinagar and Jammu.

01:06Almost all the connectivity we have restored so that people can come and go as it was happening just before the attack.

01:13And on top of that, here in Jammu, we are building a new terminal.

01:16That is where we are at the present moment.

01:19We are building a new terminal with 50,000 square feet,

01:22which is going to handle much more capacity than the existing building.

01:24This is slated to be completed by June next year.

01:28So I wanted this construction also to happen very, very smoothly and on time.

01:34So I have utilized this opportunity to review the construction also that is happening here.

01:38And very happy to say that the whole team here, let it be the new construction or the existing staff,

01:43everyone is working up to their mark.

01:45And the way they have stood up in this difficult time,

01:48I think they needed that kind of appreciation.

01:50And as a minister, I wanted to do that personally.

01:52And since I am interacting with the media,

01:54I would also like to take this opportunity to appreciate the efforts of our armed forces.

02:00I think all the 140 crore people of this country are very, very proud.

02:04And they are keeping their head held high today in front of the whole world

02:07that if anyone tries to, dares to attack India in the name of terrorism,

02:13then they are going to face the heat of it.

02:14Sir, Selibi, our Turkish company is on the eye of the storm.

02:18They are handling the ground operations at many locations for you.

02:21Will you also be taking the action against them also?

02:24Because many of the cases were also found against them, including the...

02:26This is a security aspect.

02:29And we are talking with the security agencies also.

02:31And it is there in the notice of us.

02:33And we will see what decision needs to be taken.

02:36We are working it out.

02:36There are many trade organizations and many...

02:38Yes, yes, we are aware of whatever it is happening.

02:43And we will take a decision in the interest of the nation.

02:46And we are talking with the necessary people inside,

02:49internally also with the security agencies.

02:51And we will take the necessary decisions.

02:53Okay.
