Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal jointly flagged off Volvo bus services from Jalandhar in Punjab to Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport in New Delhi on Wednesday.

Mann describes it as a revolutionary step to curb the transport of the mafia.

Seven Volvo buses will ply daily from Jalandhar bus stand to Delhi airport. Likewise, similar buses will also move from Amritsar, Pathankot, Ludhiana, Hoshiarpur, Kapurthala, Patiala and even from Chandigarh daily to the airport for facilitating the passengers.

With the plying of these buses, the passengers will get a comfortable, luxurious and cheap travel to IGI airport at a meagre price, claimed Mann. The booking of those buses can be done online three months prior to the travel, and also offline at the counters six months ahead of the journey.

Squarely blaming the successive Congress and Akali governments for not plying government buses to the airport, he said that their vested interests prohibited them from doing so.
