Government and Airport Authority of India are on the move to privatise the profit making airports, Kolkata, Chennai etc. It is being done on the plea of modenisation of the airports.
But there is a hitch. Already the Kolkata and Chennai airports have been modernised by the govt./AAI by spending Rs. 2,700 crore and Rs. 2,400 respectively. What is the proposed amount for modernisation by the private company? Only Rs. 375 crore and Rs. 492 crore.
The Modi Government is offering the profitable Airports to the private companies for a song in the name of so called modrnisation. This can not be allowed. This has to be defeated.
