Mumbai: Activists of the Maharashtra Maal Vahtuk Sena affiliated to the Shiv Sena vandalised the newly-inaugurated extension of the perishable cargo section at the Mumbai International Airport Limited at Andheri on Thursday to protest the exclusion of the name of Chhatrapati Shivaji on the signage and banners put up to announce the new addition to the cargo complex. While activists claimed responsibility for the damage, the police denied the same.
The activists have given the management of the cargo complex a day’s time to rectify the mistake and make the required addition to the name of the new extension.
Vijay Chitre, president of the MMVS, said that they were shocked to see that the management of the cargo complex had conveniently left out the name of Shivaji from the newly-inaugurated extension that will be used to store perishable goods while in transit.
“Our activists confronted the management, but when they did not receive any favourable response they tore down the banners and signage at the cargo complex. Around 50-100 activists were present at the spot and would have wreaked more damage had it not been for the intervention of the police,” said Chitre.
