Airports Authority of India directs officials to improve drainage

Guwahati: The north-eastern regional office of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) directed concerned officials to make a comprehensive plan to improve the drainage system of the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport to reduce artificial floods.
The AAI urged the administration to construct alternative waterways to prevent artificial floods in the airport campus as the floods continue to inundate portions of the parking lot and the approach road for the last one week. However, he said the present artificial floods will not pose any threat to the operation of flights.
AAI regional executive director (northeastern region), R K Singla said the airport authorities will find a permanent solution of the prolonged artificial flooding at the LGBI Airport before the next rainy season begins.
