Stink welcomes visitors at Srinagar ‘international’ airport

Srinagar: The condition of passenger washrooms/restrooms at Srinagar ‘international’ airport is turning out to be the biggest embarrassment for people of Kashmir.
Most of the travelers, especially tourists, say that washrooms for passengers at the airport lack proper sanitation and hygiene.
“Who named it an international airport? By what standard is this international? Look at the washrooms, it’s disgusting. I wasn’t expecting such a smelly welcome,” Ashok Sharma, a tourist, told Kashmir Reader.
“The washrooms are always wet and dirty whenever I happen to visit. The mess is such that you cannot save your clothes from getting dirty,” said Rouf Ahmed, a frequent traveler.
According to airport officials, there are 30 washrooms for passengers, out of which 10 are meant for women, 10 for men and the remaining 10 for physically challenged persons. Despite undergoing extensive renovation in the past few years, including a new terminal for arrival and departure and other operational facilities, the sanitation remains woefully inadequate.
