Mumbai: Sudhir Raheja, a board member of the Airports Authority of India
(AAI), has from today taken over as its Chairman, after the government,
for the second time this year, granted temporary charge to an executive
to head the country’s largest airport owner, Tarun Shukla reported for
Mint.
The government has been struggling to fill the post since abruptly terminating then Chairman, V P Agarwal’s extension six months ago. Alok Sinha, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India, who was then given temporary charge, will be returning to his state cadre Uttar Pradesh today.
“Raheja is a clean and honest man which is the focus of the new minister. We hope to get someone in the next six months permanently,” said a Ministry official.
Raheja took over as member, planning, of AAI earlier this year and, like Agarwal, has moved up the ranks in the organisation. He was among fewer than a dozen candidates, including other public sector unit officials, to be interviewed for the post.
