The Calcutta airport authorities sought police help on Thursday after a Trinamul Congress-backed union allegedly prevented a Delhi-based agency from taking over parking operations.
Airport officials said when representatives of Mahesh Sunny Enterprises Pvt Ltd, hired for three months, turned up around midnight to start work, close to 60 men entered their office and threatened them.
The men prevented the agency from taking control of the toll booths and the booths in the parking lot, demanding that it hire all the workers recruited by the previous agency. Mahesh Sunny Enterprises has brought around 15 people from north India to run the booths.
Throughout Thursday, all the booths remained unmanned and parked vehicles were not charged any fee.
“The new agency is unable to take over the car park site due to obstruction from some miscreants. This is resulting loss of approximately Rs 6 lakh per day for the government,” a letter written by the Airports
Authority of India to the Bidhannagar police commissioner said.
Officials said talks to resolve the crisis were on till late on Thursday but no solution was in sight.
