KATHMANDU: Communist Party of Nepal (United Marxist) has taken serious exception to the government’s preparation to hand over responsibility of upgrading, improving and managing Tribhuvan International Airport to an Indian Company.

Issuing a press release today, the party has said that it has raised serious question as to why the government is awarding contract to IL and FS Indian Company through the newly-formed Investment Board by ignoring the efforts of Civil Aviation Authority to initiate the upgrading of the airport with the ADB loan assistance and with its own resources.

“Earlier too, a proposal to appoint Air Marshal in the only international airport of Nepal in the name of Indian security was foiled after protests from different sides. It would in no way be acceptable to Nepali people and the country if it was a ploy to hand over the management of the sensitive airport to India in the current fragile transitional situation of Nepal,” said party Chairperson Lok Narayan Subedi in a press release.
