False ceiling hangs loose at airport’s new terminal

Chennai: A few panels of the false ceiling at the arrival hall of the new domestic terminal at Chennai airport were found loosely fitted on Wednesday.
“Passengers entering the arrival hall notice ceiling panels hanging loose. It may not be dangerous now; but if we are faced with a windy situation, like the last time, then the loose panels may pose a risk to passengers,” said an official of Airports Authority of India.
On May 12, about 20 false ceiling panels had collapsed near the security hold area of the departure hall in the new domestic terminal. Officials had blamed it on strong winds and thunderstorm.
“After that incident, officials have been inspecting the area constantly,” said airport director H.S. Suresh.
