No more entry fees, only parking fees at Imphal airport

Imphal: The authorities at the Imphal airport have abruptly disallowed collecting entry fees from vehicles visiting the Tulihal airport since February 15 and are now charging only parking fees as is the norm.
This significant development came after the Imphal Free Press report on the manner these fees were being collected in a wholly arbitrary manner, and in violation of Airport Authority of India guidelines (`Imphal Airport charging illegal parking fees`, IFP Feb 15, 2008).
The report had noted that the prevailing system of collection of these fees, ranging from Rs 10 for two wheelers and Rs. 55 for heavy vehicles upon entry at the airport was in violation of the AAI`s own guidelines, and unlike the system prevailing at other airports in the country.
