Two FIRs over the collapse of the false ceiling at the new domestic terminal have been filed by the airport police. Police said the two reports detail the incidents: one on May 13 when 20 panels caved in near the security hold area due to heavy winds, and the other on August 11 when 23 panels behind the check-in counters at the terminal crashed due to heavy condensation. On Wednesday, yet again, one panel (6x2 feet) fell in front of the Jet Airways check-in counter late in the evening. Police officers immediately inspected the area.
This is the fifth incident of the false ceiling collapsing at the airport in the last four months.
�The panel had become loose because someone had actually disturbed it. It was set right early on Thursday morning,� said an AAI official.
report has also been sent to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) by the police and a reply has been sought about why this had occurred and the steps AAI planned to take to solve the problem.
