India on Friday said it has taken up with Pakistan the matter of overflight clearances for flights from Srinagar to Sharjah, but has not got a response yet.

Earlier this month, government officials said Pakistan has denied use of its airspace to Go First's Srinagar-Sharjah flight.

According to officials, till October 31, the flight was going through Pakistan airspace.

Asked about the issue at a media briefing, ministry of external affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said, "We have taken up the matter with the government of Pakistan for overflight clearances of flights from Srinagar to Sharjah. We have not received a response."

Asked if India was considering reciprocal measures and stop overflight clearances to PIA flights to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, Bagchi said, "I don't have any indication of whether we are looking at the kind of steps you had alluded to." -- PTI
