No visitors at new terminal

Chennai: What she imagined would be a dream send off became a rather more business-like one. Chennai’s new international air terminal does not permit visitors inside. A passenger, who dreamt of waving her parents goodbye from the departure area prior to leaving on her trip abroad for higher education, was acutely disappointed to have to make do with a brisk separation at the entrance.
S. Preetha, an engineering graduate from K.K. Nagar, Chennai, had a big ticket admission to pursue a postgraduate programme at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. When she reached the airport on Monday, she was shocked to find that her father would not be allowed inside the termi­nal.
“Today is a very important day for me and I really felt bad to take leave of my father at the entrance gate,” Preetha told Deccan Chronicle.
