Delhi's swanky airport 'city' hit by security row

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT">NEW DELHI: A development  of luxury hotels next to New Delhi's revamped $3 billion international  airport has been hit by fears its close proximity to a runway makes it a  security risk, highlighting teething problems in India's huge push to  build infrastructure. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi">Delhi</a>  Police have called for a security review at what has been dubbed  "Aerocity", a project run in partnership between the government and a  private consortium. <br />
<br />
The location of the 45-acre site just 200  metres from one of the runways at India's largest airport makes it a  potential launch pad for militant attacks, police said. <br />
<br />
Asia's  third-largest economy is pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into  revamping its creaky infrastructure with world-class projects, without  which it will struggle to maintain its status as one of the world's  fastest-growing economies. <br />
<br />
But such developments often stutter  under implementation with teething problems ranging from land  acquisition, erratic planning or throttling bureaucracy. Delhi airport  offers a snapshot of India's infrastructure highs and lows. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-International-Airport-Limited">Delhi International Airport Limited</a> (DIAL), which contains a consortium led by the Indian firm  <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/GMR-Infrastructure-Limited">GMR Infrastructure Limited</a>,  says it had received all necessary clearances beforehand to proceed  with developing the land. GMR also disputes that the development is a  security risk. <br />
<br />
"They are very close to the runway,"  <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Deepak-Mishra">Deepak Mishra</a>, Special Commissioner of Police (operations) at Delhi Police, said. <br />
<br />
"They claim that they have got all kinds of clearances regarding the  work," he said, adding "security vetting should have been done". <br />
<br />
Asked about the dangers of the closeness to the runway, Mishra said it  made the airport vulnerable to "any kind of sabotage. It may be some  terrorists, it may some anti-nationals, it may be some weird character".  <br />
<br />
ADVERTISING  <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/India">INDIA</a><br />
<br />
Its gleaming new buildings and a high-speed rail link built by a consortium led by  <a href="http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/reliance-infrastructure-ltd/stocks/companyid-13922.cms" target="_blank">Reliance Infrastructure Ltd</a>, won praise from many Indians as a sign of the country's ability to build projects that matched its rising economic status. <br />
<br />
The airport is "a good advertisement for India", said DH Pai Panandikar, head of the think-tank  <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/RPG-Foundation">RPG Foundation</a>. <br />
<br />
But part of a new terminal's roof, also built by GMR, collapsed after  opening in 2009. The rail link, the first such in India, was delayed by  months because it had not been given the necessary security clearance. <br />
<br />
The underground line was meant to be ready for Delhi's  <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Commonwealth-Games">Commonwealth Games</a>  last October, an event that was mired in rows over corruption  allegations and huge project delays that put India's ability to deliver  on infrastructure under scrutiny. <br />
<br />
GMR was awarded the contract to develop and operate the airport in 2006, with an initial concession period of 30 years. <br />
<br />
Such contracts are typical of the government's drive to plug India's  huge infrastructure holes with a thriving private sector taking on a big  chunk of the financial burden. Real estate concessions are often given  to make a project more viable for private investors. The first hotel is  set to open next March. <br />
<br />
"Every clearance was taken," said  <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Arun-Bhagat">Arun Bhagat</a>,  a spokesman for GMR. Bhagat disputed the figure given by police as to  the proximity of the commercial development to the runway. Police have  given a figure of less than 200 metres, while Bhagat said it was "many  times that" but declined to give a precise figure. <br />
<br />
"You can say  it's in the vicinity of the airport but it's not bang there," he said.  "As far as we're concerned, we know that we've complied with everything  that was needed to be done." <br />
<br />
Delhi police says it has written to the DIAL developers and has also contacted the home ministry to step in. <br />
<br />
Mishra declined to give details on what could be done to beef up  security at the site, saying he did not wish to prejudge the outcome of a  review that would take place within weeks. He did, however, rule out  shifting the site elsewhere. </span></b></div>

US student molested twice on same day

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span id="advenueINTEXT" name="advenueINTEXT">PUDUCHERRY: It was a double-ordeal for an American student who was here for a short-term course at  Pondicherry University. Faced with sexual harassment, the 19-year-old, who had arrived on July 16, decided to return home within four days. <br />
<br />
She was allegedly molested by a guard on the university campus on  Wednesday. Traumatized, she decided to fly back home, but on her way to  the airport she was molested again by the driver of the taxi she had  hired. The police have arrested the security guard and the taxi driver.  On Wednesday, A Sowhar Rahman (20), a guard from Assam who was posted in  the women's hostel, approached the girl requesting her to charge his  cellphone, saying that he was expecting an important call. <br />
<br />
"The  girl took his mobile phone into her room to charge it. A few minutes  later, Rahman, under the pretext of taking back his mobile phone,  entered the women's hostel, barged into the girl's room and attempted to  molest her," said SP (north) NT Sivadasan. She managed to escape and  raised an alarm. The girl did not file a complaint and decided to leave  the country. <br />
<br />
She hired a taxi for  Chennai airport  the same night. Police said the driver stopped the taxi at several  places, telling the girl that the engine had developed a snag. But  whenever he stopped the vehicle, he would try to molest her, police  said. </span></div>
