The existing facilities at the Chandigarh International Airport are “sub-standard” and need to be “upgraded”, concluded a team of advocates on Sunday after holding an “extensive” inspection of the airport.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Thursday had directed a team of advocates to carry out inspection of the airport on Sunday and submit a report on October 5. The directions were issued after the court came to know that the basic facilities at the airport are still even “less than ordinary”.
The high court had appointed senior advocate M L Sareen as amicus curiae to assist the court. The team also included petitioner Mohali Industries Association’s senior counsel Puneet Bali and the counsel appearing in the court for Centre, Punjab and Haryana governments. The team arrived at the airport at 4.30 pm and continued the inspection till 7.30 pm.
After the inspection, Sareen said that an “extensive” inspection was carried out and it was found that there were “no proper facilities” and the existing facilities needed to be upgraded.
“We spent three hours at the airport. We observed everything from the arrival point to the departure. We checked everything,” Sareen told Chandigarh Newsline. “A lot of facilities have to be provided by the airport and other facilities have to be upgraded. Their future plan is very good and it will be a really good international airport. I will submit the report on October 5 as directed by the court.”
