A water leakage video in the baggage screening area of Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi International (LGBI) Airport, after the heavy downpour on Monday evening, has been captured by a passenger, which is doing the rounds on social media.
The video shows water flowing through the ceiling of the newly constructed wing of the Guwahati Airport.
B. K Tailong, Director of LGBI Airport, speaking to G Plus said, "Construction was going on in the particular area, and the shower was quite a heavy one, which led to water rush through the ceilings. No operation process was hampered due to this. We have repaired the ceiling within last night only."
Namita Konwar from Guwahati talking to G Plus said, "I am a regular traveler. For all these years, I have seen the airport in a shabby condition only. Considering that the affected wing in the video is just a few months old, the whole thing indicates a poor quality of construction. The ministry should set up an inquiry soon."
