Home Ministry today rejected the media report that air transit facility on Jammu- Srinagar sector for CRPF troops has not been allowed. It has termed the reports as untrue. The Ministry said, over the last few years, it had significantly enhanced the air courier services for Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs)&nbsp; in all sectors to help the jawans cut down on travel time during their journey to and back from home on leave.&nbsp;<br />''<br />''It added that in Jammu and Kashmir sector, Air Courier Service for transportation of Jawans of CAPFs is already in operation for quite some time. This included initially the Jammu-Srinagar-Jammu Sector.&nbsp; The air support is also provided from&nbsp; Indian Air Force as and when required.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />''<br />''<span style="color: #222222;">The Home Ministry, however, said the movement of convoys by road for logistical and operational reasons has been and will continue to be necessary. This is also the case with the Army.</span><br />
