Coimbatore airport gets dedicated power supply line

Coimbatore: Officials at the city airport are not sweating as much as they used to during unscheduled power outages as they have finally got a dedicated power supply line. They no longer have to depend on generators to power runway lights and other equipment integral to the operations of the airport. This also means that the long standing safety and security issue at the airport has finally been resolved.
Until recently, the unscheduled power cuts meant a frantic rush as officials had to operate four diesel generators to resume supply. A 10 to 15 second snag was unavoidable before these back up generators took over. But these few seconds were a matter of utmost concern for the officials as safety and security were compromised.
