Link failure disrupts Patna airport functioning

Patna: There was a complete link failure at the airport here on Friday. All telelinks snapped at the airport due to damage to the underground cable of BSNL.
The three airlines operating from Patna — the Indian, Sahara Airlines and the Air Deccan — had to provide the boarding passes manually to their passengers.
Airport sources said even the normal functioning of Airports Authority of India was hit due to this failure.
Sources in the Air Sahara said later in the evening that they managed to run the system somehow as the internet line was okay.
Meanwhile, BSNL official Prakash Nath blamed a road construction company engaged in constructing a pillar in front of the BSNL office, for this.
