Mosquitoes are making life hell for passengers catching night flights at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport's T2, diluting their admiration for the state-of-the-art terminal built at a cost of over Rs5,500 crore.
Hetal Avlani, a passenger who recently travelled through the airport on early morning of Monday tweeted, "Dear CSIA, please do something about the mosquito problem. They are the only things that you have carried over from the old airport."
The airport administration on its part claims that the new terminal has most environment friendly and clean terminal buildings and operations which can be matched with the international standards.
"We are already working to mitigate the problem," said an airport official. However, a spokesperson for the airport said, "We have taken all the possible steps to keep the mosquito problems under check. Fumigation is regularly done and all the nullahs (drains) have been covered, among other things."
