Tripura demands upper cap on airfare in Agartala sector, government unhappy with airlines

The Tripura government is dissatisfied with aviation companies for not lowering airfares despite a substantial tax cut on aviation turbine fuel. Transport Minister Sushanta Chowdhury has asked the Union Civil Aviation Minister to impose an upper cap on airfares for Agartala-Kolkata and Agartala-Guwahati routes, especially ahead of Durga Puja, to alleviate financial strain on travelers.
