Mumbai: The Mumbai International Airport Private Limited (MIAL) has now got permission to deploy two additional towing vehicles at both departure and arrival terminal gates.
Their job: Any vehicle idling or static in front of the terminal gates after dropping the passengers, is to be towed and fined Rs 500. This move follows a survey which revealed that there are anything between 18 (non peak hours) and 109 (peak hours) cars parked in front of the terminal building on any given day.
The survey, commissioned by the JV for better curbside management, also talks of utter chaos, lack of lane discipline and high decibel levels due to continuous honking that lead to periodic traffic jams in front of the terminal.
But after a week of strict monitoring by a private security agency, the JV reports there have been some improvements.
