Mangaluru: The Airports Authority of India ( AAI) has expedited repair work on the compound wall abutting its decommissioned runway 0927 at Bajpe village.
The wall, built nearly four-decade ago, developed a crack following May 29 deluge that hit the city and adjoining areas, loosening the soil beneath. A team of experts from National Institute of Technology – Karnataka are assisting the AAI civil engineers to shore up the earth beneath the compound wall.
Vasamsetti Venkateswara Rao, airport director, Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) that AAI operates, told TOI that central public works department is already on the ground attending to the work
“Given the situation, we have been pro-active in attending to the same,” Rao said adding that the wall is in no immediate danger of collapsing for its loosened soil base has been shored up. The boundary wall is a good 500 metres away from the decommissioned runway.
