KATHMANDU, JUNE 14

Minister of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation Prem Bahadur Ale today said that Tribhuvan International Airport would be made a model airport in terms of cleanliness.

He said this while handing certificates to the participants of a two-week international-standard sanitation training. One-hundred-and-fifty-two cleaning staffers, including employees from the private sector working at TIA attended the training.

'We have put to an end the situation of tourists arriving at the airport and covering their noses. It is the responsibility of the cleaning staffers to keep the airport neat and clean.

I urge you to make the maximum use of skills and knowledge learnt in the course of the training. I will support you in this,' he said.

Minister Ale also claimed that a lot of good work had been done to beautify the airport under his direction.
