Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi urging him to launch air travel services in Kota, Rajasthan.

In a letter to the Prime Minister dated October 25, the Gandhi scion reiterated the fact that 1.5 lakh students across India study in numerous coaching centres and face inconvenience due to the absence of such facility.

Gandhi suggested Prime Minister Modi to upgrade the present infrastructure of airways in the city.

"While the Airport Authority of India operates an airport at Kota, it is not equipped to handle large commercial aircraft. The need of the hour is to either upgrade the existing airport or construct a new airport to handle commercial flights. Let us bring Vikas (development) to the enterprising people of Kota," the Congress chief said.
