New Delhi: Six years after the government approved plans for one of the largest hotel projects in the country — the Aerocity at the Indira Gandhi International Airport — JW Marriott on Friday became the first hotel to be given clearance for operating dining and lodging services.
However, security agencies have given the five-star hotel with 523 rooms only a partial clearance as the hotel is yet to put in all security measures, including installation of bulletproof windows, in 200-odd rooms which face the runway.
Sources said the hotel was given a partial clearance on Friday after a third and final inspection was carried out by the Deputy Commissioner of Police (IGIA) and his team. The DCP (IGIA) issued a no-objection certificate to the licensing unit of the Delhi Police, following which Marriot was issued the clearance.
Of the total 523 rooms, sources said 200 rooms facing the runway will be locked up and will not be open for operations till all security parameters are complete.
