Move to privatise LGBI Airport decried

By City Correspondent

GUWAHATI, March 6 - The Joint Council of Trade Unions (JCTU), Assam has opposed the Central government�s move to hand over the LGBI Airport to a private entity.

�Privatisation of the airport is a pre-poll gift to the capitalists by the BJP-led Central government. The LGBI Airport has developed a lot in the past ten years by spending its own fund and now the profit will go to the pocket of capitalists. It is against the interest of the nation,� the JCTU alleged in a statement. The union stated that it is not a wise decision of the government to hand over the LGBI Airport, which is located very close to the international border, to a private entity.

The JCTU also slammed the State government for not bringing the managements of the tea estates rocked by the hooch tragedy under the ambit of the probe.
