PRAYAGRAJ: The Covid pandemic has severely affected the air connectivity of the Sangam city with a sharp fall in the number of air travellers, both coming or leaving the city. Also, flights for various destinations stand cancelled from the civil enclave, Bamraulli.
On Monday, flights connecting Prayagraj to several cities of the country were cancelled. While the air service provider said the cancellations were due to some ‘operational reasons’ but sources at the civil enclave opined that the flights are being cancelled because of the less passengers. While flight cancellations also add to the cause of less air passengers.
Prayagraj: The problem of reoccurrence of waterlogging at the civil terminal of Prayagraj at Bamrauli during the rainy season is set to be a thing of the past. To equip the Bamrauli Civil air terminal with a modern drainage system, the state government has sanctioned over Rs 1.48 crore which would be used to get rid of the problem that plagues the area every year during the monsoons.
The drainage system once in place would rid the airport of the annual problem of waterlogging during monsoons that often results in pools of water accumulating even in the apron area where the flights are parked, unloaded and reloaded causing trouble in their smooth operation during the rainy season.
