Protest new signage in front of Chhatrapati Shivaji’s statue after change in airport management
Shiv Sena workers on Monday vandalised and then removed the ‘Adani Airport’ signboard displayed near the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj near the airport in Mumbai, claiming the company was trying to change the name of the airport. “These signboards of Adani Airport were installed yesterday (Sunday) night. The airport’s name is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. How can the company, which has been given the job to run the airport, dare to change the name of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj? Moreover, do you expect us to keep quiet on this,” asked Sanjay Kadam, secretary, Bharatiya Kamgar Sena (BKS), the labour wing of the Sena who removed the signboards. On Monday afternoon, a group of 15 to 20 workers marched with sticks and damaged the signboard before completely removing it amid slogans. BKS president and Sena Lok Sabha MP Arvind Sawant said the attempt to change the name of the airport will not be tolerated. “This is nothing but an insult of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj,” he said.More Related News
