Congress legislator Prithviraj Chavan on Wednesday asked the Maharashtra government to take up the issue of airlines charging exorbitantly for flights to Nagpur, where the winter session of the state legislature is underway, with the Centre.
Speaking in the legislative assembly, Chavan attributed the high rise in air fares to the removal of a pre-existed ceiling mechanism by the aviation minister.
Congress MLA Amin Patel said hotels in Nagpur have jacked up the rates and charging Rs 20,000 per day.
