New Delhi: The snazzy T3 terminal at Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) is considered a pride of Delhi. But there is nothing to be proud of about what MiD DAY found there. We discovered that an air-conditioned bay near the terminal, which connects Delhi Airport Metro Express line to Indira Gandhi International Airport, is being used by people as place to rest. As the mercury continues to rise in the Capital with every passing day, more and more Delhiites are using the area even to take a nap.
So, passengers sleeping with their luggage in the bay has now become a common sight. For entering the visitor's lounge one has to pay Rs. 80, so those who are coming to receive their relatives have started using this bay as waiting room. This MiD DAY reporter caught several people sleeping in the area on camera.
People using this bay have started using it for long hours while their plane is delayed. "What is the harm in using this place to rest? This is so comfortable; we have an air-conditioned ambience here and we don't even have to pay any money to experience it," said a Dwarka resident who had come to the airport receive his daughter.
But there were some commuters who felt this could also lead to security breach.
