The two BJP MPs - Anurag Thakur from Hamirpur and Virender Kashyap from Shimla met Sinha with a representation to restart the Shimla aerodrome, Jubberhatti, which is lying unused for a considerable period now.
"Shimla is one of the top hill stations of the country and the flight connectivity can boost the number of tourists visiting it," Thakur told Sinha while urging him to provide air link to the Himachal capital.
He added though most of the tourists prefer roads to reach Shimla due to scenic surroundings, the air connectivity can reduce travel time and boost the visits by very busy people.
