Maternity leave upsets announcements at Kolkata airport

Kolkata: The international airport in Kolkata is facing a unique problem. Its announcement studio has been shut between 8 pm and 8 am with three of the eight women staffers, who announce flights, going on maternity leave at the same time and three others been given promotions.
With only two staffers to make the announcements round-the-clock, the Airports Authority of India has been now forced to keep the studio room at NSC Bose International Airport shut between 8 pm and 8 am, airport sources said.
The sources said the airlines at the airport have been asked to make their own announcements from cubicles in the domestic lounge.
The three women had applied for maternity leave, but it was not realised at the time that their period of leave coincided, the sources said.
