Srikkanth bats for more flights to Bhopal

BHOPAL: Nothing much fazes the original master blaster,

Krishnamachari Srikkanth

. After a long time, the trip to

Bhopal

did.


"I am surprised that despite being a state capital, Bhopal is connected with so few cities. I had to come on the night of September 10 to attend a function on the morning of September 11. After only a few hours, I am having to go to

Indore

by road to catch an evening flight to Chennai," Srikkanth told TOI on Tuesday. "It's such a waste of time."

Srikkanth, who was in Bhopal to sign an MoU between his education company and state-run CRISP for improving English language among students, rued that he could not spend much time in Bhopal because he had to rush to Indore.

"This is a sheer waste of time. Had there been a direct flight to Chennai I could have spent 3-4 hours more in Bhopal. Unfortunately, I could not. This city needs to be connected properly with the major cities, at least," he said.
