The Union civil aviation ministry will examine the complaint about disruption of water supply at Tirupati international airport allegedly by the leaders of the YSR Congress Party in Andhra Pradesh and “will take necessary action,” civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Thursday.
The minister’s announcement came after Bharatiya Janata Party’s MP GVL Narasimha Rao wrote to him, claiming that YSRCP leaders caused the disruption as a revenge, after some of their party members were denied entry into the airport earlier on January 10. In his letter, Rao also attached copies of local media reports about the incident.
In response, Scindia, in a tweet, said, “We will examine the issue at our end & take necessary action. Passengers & staff at the airport will not face any further inconvenience.”
