Out of 41 instances of glass panels falling and breaking at the Chennai International Airport, 15 were caused by “human intervention”, while 26 occurred “spontaneously”, an RTI response from the Chennai Airport authorities claimed.
In reply to an RTI application filed by The News Minute in July, the authorities stated that since the airport’s Rs 2,200-crore renovation in 2013, there were 41 instances of glass panels falling till August 29, of which 15 involved human intervention.
“Human intervention is when passengers unknowingly break open the automatic doors or break the glass panels by hitting them with trollies,” Chennai Airport Director G Chandramouli told The News Minute.
While the RTI reply counted 41 instances of glass panels falling from 2013 to August 2016, media reports indicate that the number had already touched 60 by April. Some of these instances have also reportedly led to passengers and officials getting injured too.
