The city airport is up and running with a host of new features in keeping with the new normal of a Covid world. Some things haven’t changed, though.
Tubs
The roof still leaks and on Thursday, at least 10 tubs were placed across the check-in area in the terminal building.
Airport officials blamed Cyclone Amphan. Corrugated sheets had been blown away from a large part of the 7,500sq m roof. “The roof has four layers, of which the top layer has been severely damaged by the cyclone. Many joints have been damaged and some have come off,” airport director Kaushik Bhattaharya said on Friday. “It will take up 45 days to repair the entire roof.”
