Minister Naidu Unhappy with International Airport

Bangalore: Minister for Information Technology and Biotechnology Katta Subramanya Naidu, who is in-charge of Bangalore North, has expressed his displeasure over the amenities available at the Bengaluru International Airport and has decided to take up the matter with the Union Government.
He told presspersons here on Wednesday that the international airport was not really “international” in comparison with the facilities available in the other international airports, including that of Hyderabad and New Delhi.
“This international airport is a poor cousin to most others and does not have any world standard facility. It will bring down the image of Karnataka in the eyes of the people who arrive here from across the world.”
The airport civil structure was marked by shoddy construction and the State Government would focus on all these issues.
The Minister said the airport had no seating arrangements for people waiting to receive the passengers and there was no seating arrangement even for the police and other staff. Employees on duty at the airport had to remain standing for hours on end. Even toilets for the common people were very few.
