Mumbai: Months after dna reported about airport security division of
Airports Authority of India (AAI) objecting to coming up of Metro III
railway station near the new ATC tower in Vile Parle, the Intelligence
Bureau (IB) has now raised a similar objection to it.
The Metro station's entry and exit points are dangerously close to the tower, which manages the air navigation system around Mumbai airspace.
In a security review meeting held last month, which had all stakeholders, the IB put forth its disagreement over the project design. The objections are now expected to be analysed at the highest level of ministry of civil aviation and ministry of home.
dna had reported this March how AAI, which is also a partner in the private-run city airport, recently wrote to many agencies, including operator Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), to make the required changes in the plan. "Otherwise, it could be disastrous for the safety of the new ATC tower," it wrote.
