Kolkata: Unhappy over the poor shape of the new terminal of the Kolkata airport, Trinamool Congress MP Derek O' Brien has written to Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh, saying it's a "stigma" on the city.
"The airport terminal that is now functional is a stigma on the fair name of Kolkata. It is an insult to the city, its people and frequent users of airlines, and to the memory of Netaji, for whom the airport is named," Derek wrote in the letter.
The Trinamool Rajya Sabha MP said he was writing as a concerned citizen of Kolkata who was appalled and disgusted by the state of the new terminal at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport after it was opened this January.
"After years and decades of waiting, your Ministry and the Airports Authority of India, a body that comes under your superintendence, deigned to give Kolkata the modern airport terminal it deserved. Alas, the AAI and your Ministry have far from delivered on your promises," he said.
