Birds mock flyers at Surat airport’s terminal building

SURAT: Aircraft don't seem to be the one factor one sees flying over the premises of Surat airport. It is the fiefdom of the birds too. Pigeons, sparrows and mynas have made the terminal development their residing place. The terminal and concourse are favourite puts of those birds, who like to make their nests right here, within the process creating problems for passengers, stall owners and the airport workforce.

Airport authorities plan to hire a certified agency to stop the birds from coming into the terminal development. The airport is facing chicken problem for the previous many years, yet the authorities did not take concrete steps to curb the risk. Passengers incessantly complain about chicken muddle and dust at the benches.

Neeraj Pandya, a businessman who used to be just lately travelling to New Delhi, stated, “I was ingesting espresso sitting within the ready lounge, when abruptly the chicken muddle fell in my cup and the espresso used to be in every single place my garments. I known as the airport workforce and complained in regards to the chicken problem, however they were of no lend a hand.” There are too many retailers for the birds to get into the development. They can fly in via jet bridges, loading docks and open doorways within the terminals when the passengers move in and out. Passengers and airport activists have taken to social media to highlight the issue. In his authentic reply on Twitter, airport director Sanjay Kumar Panigrahi stated, “We are wearing out a surgical strike on chicken hideouts and shutting the access points within the terminal development. However, catching and taking away the birds already trapped within take time. We are in a position to even hire a certified agency to take on the chicken risk.”
