Skidding on strike puddle, air passenger cracks skull in city

Calcutta: A passenger suffered brain haemorrhage and a skull fracture after slipping on a puddle in a Calcutta airport terminal that was not cleaned for 12 hours because of a strike.
Amarjeet Singh Gill, 55, made the mistake of landing in Calcutta on the first day of the airport employees’ indefinite agitation that had little impact on the rest of India.
The airport in Dum Dum became the worst affected in the country because the “non-co-operation movement” is being enforced by an outfit — the Airports Authority Employees’ Union (AAEU) — that is backed by Citu.
Gill, who reached Calcutta today from Amritsar, fell in the toilet in the domestic terminal near the arrival gate. He is now recuperating in the Neuro-Intensive Care Unit of Apollo Gleneagles Hospital.
