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.
