Sainiks blacken sign boards at the Mumbai Airport

Mumbai: Following Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray's statement that his party would not allow, the Mumbai Airport Authority to advertise its companies, a group of Shiv Sainiks on Sunday blackened six sign boards put up at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Domestic Airport, here.
Speaking here, Airport Officers Union president and secretary of Shiv Sena backed Bharitya Kamagar Sena Kiran Pawaskar said, ''The Shiv Sainiks are only implementing orders of Mr Uddhav Thackeray, who had yesterday said that the sign boards at the airport should carry 'Mumbai welcomes you' and not any other text like MIAL or GVK welcomes you.''
Pawaskar said that this was only a symbolic reaction, and warned MIAL, that if it did not change the sign boards' text, the party would blacken all such sign boards.
