Shri Ajit Singh, the Minister of Civil Aviation informed Lok Sabha today in a written reply that the problem of touts is encountered most at metros and large airports. They basically operate outside the Terminal building or in the visitor’s area.
The Minister further informed that touts are usually acting in connivance with the taxi operators, trolley retrieving staff, loading agents and other staff employed by the airlines for ground handling operations. Such touts are handed over by CISF to the local police. The local police takes action against the touts such as imposing monetary fine. Regular efforts are made by the local police to enquire into such incidents whenever reported and necessary action is taken to improve surveillance at the airport to curb all kinds of undesirable activities including the tout menace.
