Guwahati: The Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati is gearing up to combat the monsoon with full preparedness and safety protocols, an official release said on Saturday.
“The airport might face extreme difficulties due to unpredictable rainfall patterns, heavy rainfall causing recurring floods and low-lying water filled nearby areas outside the boundary wall.
“LGBIA has implemented several plans and procedures to mitigate any potential disturbance on operations,” a release from the airport authorities said.
Dedicated manpower has been deployed by the airport authorities for cleaning drains at multiple locations in the facility.
