Stir hits airport cargo clearance

Kolkata: Clearance of import cargo from NSC Bose airport was stopped today as clearing agents struck work in protest against the delay, increased expenditure and harassment.
Some agents said that a new system to check cargo at the final exit gate even after it was delivered to them on completion of all the formalities was causing problem. The system not only delayed their work but also involved increased expenditure. They also wanted a smooth system for quick delivery of their goods.
A senior official of the Airports Authority of India said that some representatives of the association of the clearing agents had discussion in the morning with the officials following which the agents agreed to clear consignments.
