Calicut International Airport director K. Srinivasa Rao has said that action will be initiated against mischief makers trying to spread fake news via social and print media on hike in car parking fee at the airport from April 1. He added that steps had been taken to identify those behind the news.
As such, no decision has been taken on hiking the fee.
Usually, rate revision is made by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) on an all-India basis, and the Calicut airport authorities alone cannot revise and implement new rates, Mr. Rao said.
