I urge you to make the maximum use the skills and knowledge learnt in course of the training. I will support you in this," he said, stressing on the need of keeping the airport clean for enhancing the nation's dignity.
The Civil Aviation Minister also claimed that many good works have been done regarding beatifying the airport under his directives.
In this connection, he referred to the laying of foundation for construction of a terminal building, operation of baggage belt and construction of water fountains.
