Chennai: The repair work on the damaged boundary walls of the Chennai airport will be completed by March 31, said Deepak Shastri.
Speaking to DC, he said, “More than 60 percent of the repair work on the damaged walls along the riverside is over and by March 31 the rest will be completed. Work is going on in full force and all the breaches will be fixed”.
Work on the damaged walls began a month ago.
It may be recalled that after the floods there were as many as 17 breaches across the boundary wall that needed restoration. As a temporary measure, fencing was done in those areas to prevent entry of animals into the runway.
Meanwhile, all the navigational aids which suffered damage included radars, navigational systems and approach radars have been mended.
The damage caused had been deemed as a setback for the airport by the Union minister for civil aviation, Ashok Gajapathi Raju, himself.
