Chandigarh, Aug 13 - The Punjab Road Transport Corporation (PRTC) is holding talks with Delhi transport authorities to start a direct bus service from various cities in the state to the Indira Gandhi International Airport in the national capital, Transport Minister Master Mohan Lal said here Thursday.

'We have told them to provide proper parking space to PRTC buses and other facilities to buses entering Delhi. If everything goes well, then we will certainly start direct service of AC luxury buses to Delhi airport in the coming months,' the minister told reporters on the sidelines of a ceremony to flag-off 10 new luxury air-conditioned buses of the PRTC.

There is huge NRI population in various cities and towns of Punjab that travels to Delhi airport, and many private bus-operators and taxis companies are plying vehicles on this route to cater to the huge number of passengers.
