THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: A day after the Airport Authority of India handed over running of Thiruvananthapuram airport to Adani group by signing the concession agreement, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has criticised the Centre’s move.
He said the Centre has handed over the Thiruvananthapuram airport to Adani group by signing an agreement without waiting for Supreme Court’s consideration of state government’s appeal petition.
“It is a gross violation and it is a clear indication of Adani group monopolising the airports in the country. The development of Thiruvananthapuram airport will not move even an inch forward from the present situation even if the Adani group takes over. The state wants the airport to be retained in public sector.
