Our Bureau
New Delhi, Oct. 28 The GMR and GVK group, which are taking up the modernisation
of Delhi and Mumbai airports, could find themselves in a spot.
This follows a Parliamentary committee asking the Government to review all the
provisions in the Operation, Management and Development Agreement (OMDA) that
has been signed with the promoters undertaking the modernisation of these two
airports and make suitable provisions to accommodate all the Airports Authority
of India (AAI) employees at their respective place of work.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture, in its
report on the 'Functioning of private airports and related issues' has pointed
out that the Government can take the example of the Delhi Vidyut Board, where
all employees of the organisation have been retained in BSES, Delhi, on the
same terms of employment enjoyed by them prior to privatisation.
Workers not too keen
Implementing the provision could prove tricky, as most of the AAI workers at
these two airports do not seem keen to continue with either the GMR or GVK
group when the mandatory three-year period comes to an end next year. In the
case of Delhi, less than 200 AAI employees of the more than 2,300 employees
agreed to take up the incentive scheme of DIAL, the new joint venture company
modernising the airport.
The Parliamentary Committee, which submitted its report last Thursday, notes
with concern that some of the OMDA provisions appear to violate Clause 12 and
18 of the AAI Act 1994. While Clause 18 provides that the employees posted at
the subject airport would continue to enjoy the same terms and conditions of
employment, Clause 12 covers all the services of operations as well as non
operations.
Calling on the Government to review the OMDA provision, the Committee has
expressed the view that no arbitrary agreement, namely the OMDA or Concession
Agreement, can supersede the provisions of Parliament Act.
