Airport, a sitting duck? http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Cities/Airport_a_sitting_duck/rssarticles how/3450709.cms <NAGPUR: At a time when terrorists are virtually striking in the country at will, city's international airport appears strangely vulnerable despite increased need for security. Though there are strict security checks and restrictions on entry at the airport itself, **constructions have come up all along its periphery** providing easy vantage points to potential saboteurs for their activities.>
Judging from the real estate activity reported about Mopa, the periphery of the airport may witness similar constructions. These may not be "scams" as some mistakenly believe but potential threats to safety and security. Let's hope there is proper zoning of the airport area from the outset and that the periphery itself is properly protected from Day One.
