"Even in such scorching heat, there are no arrangements for free drinking water. On the other hand, shops selling water bottles are taking exorbitant prices. We spend thousand of rupees to travel by air only to find disappointment at the airport. The airport authorities have failed to make proper arrangements," said a passenger.
Another passenger said, "There are no food stalls, and water is being sold costly. The airport authorities should pay attention. There are higher chances of bird strikes, which can lead to a serious accident. The administrate must act before it is too late."
