Glass pane falls at new terminal

Lucknow: Poor quality of material used in construction of new terminal in Amausi airport stood exposed once again as a part of glass pane of the frontal facade came down crashing after strong wind followed by rain lashed the building on Thursday morning. Thankfully, no passenger was injured in the incident.
The incident took place at around 9.00 am, much to the shock of passengers and visitors waiting outside the arrival section.
A senior official of the Airports Authority of India (AAI), however, maintained that it was a small part of the glass that gave away as strong winds lashed the structure. Airport director, Suresh Hota, said that the damaged part will be replaced soon.
The incident comes to the fore barely 10 days after Union civil aviation minister Ajit Singh expressing concern over the quality of material used and the maintenance of the building, while ordering a probe into alleged use of sub-standard material in the construction of the building.
