Opposition slams hike in Delhi airport charges

New Delhi: The Airports Economic Regulatory Authority's decision to allow the Delhi International Airport Ltd to increase user development charges by 346 per cent is becoming a political hot potato.
Opposition parties raised the issue in the Rajya Sabha and criticised the Government for allowing such a hike in airport user fee. During zero hour on Friday, CPI (M) MP, Mr K.N. Balagopal, said Delhi airport had become the most expensive airport in the world.
He said the matter was an issue of privilege as the Rajya Sabha was yet to discuss amendments to Airport Authority of India (Major Airport Development Fee) Rules, 2011. The rules, which allowed the private airport developers to levy user development fee, are yet to be adopted by Parliament, as Opposition members have moved amendments to it.
