NDTV
Protests against the Adani Group, which also controls airports in Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Jaipur and Thiruvananthapuram, have been going on for months
Despite widespread and prolonged protests, the management, development and operation of Guwahati's Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport was today handed over to the Adani Guwahati International Airport Limited in a "restricted ceremony".
The mandate to operate the only international airport in northeast India was won by the Gautam Adani-led Adani Airport Holdings Limited earlier this year.
The "restricted ceremony" saw the Airport Director hand over a symbolic key to Utpal Baruah, who has been appointed Chief Airport Officer by AGIAL.
Earlier today the Adani Group tweeted: "We are delighted to announce the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport is now a 'Gateway To Goodness'. We are privileged to be at your service and welcome all passengers to our airport in Guwahati."
