Gaya: The solar plates and other items stolen from the Dhungeshwari hills have been replaced making night landing facility available at Gaya airport. The device was stolen a few days back. This was the second incident of theft of night vision devices required to make night landing possible at the airport.
The incident of theft came as a shock to air users, hoteliers, tour operators and others engaged in the hospitality business. Tourist inflow this year is already very low and the incidence of theft has further added to the woes of people depending on tourist/pilgrim arrival at Bodh Gaya for their survival.
According to SSP Nishant Tiwari, the device has been re-installed. Asked about the future safety of the device installed at an isolated point, the SSP said the Airport Authority of India (AAI) earlier promised to construct protective structure at the installation point to provide shelter to guards to be deployed for protecting the night vision devices. There was also a suggestion made to the AAI officials to install the gadgets at a raised platform to make it more protected.
