New buildings near LGBI airport led to waterlogging

Guwahati: The lack of co-ordination between the Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) and the administration with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) while granting construction permission in the vicinity of LGBI Airport here can prolong artificial flooding in and around the only international airport in the northeast.
On Monday, the approach road to the airport's main entry and exit points and the parking was inundated due to heavy rain. However, the waterlogging at the airport campus eased a little on Tuesday as there was no fresh rain, but the only exit road remained waterlogged. The GMDA authorities put emphasis on clearing the water around the airport only after AAI blamed the new constructions that have come up in the periphery of the airport for the artificial flooding.
