Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) has announced a fine of Rs 1,000 for people violating Covid-19 regulations at the facilities. This includes refusing to wear a mask or follow physical distancing.
CSMIA officials said the latest guidelines from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation have mandated strict actions against violators to ensure appropriate behavior by Covid as a second wave of the pandemic grips various parts of the country, especially Maharashtra.
The airport has delegated sheriffs to monitor different parts of the airport. “In the event of a breach of Covid rules, the offender will be turned over to the authorities for further action,” the CSMIA said in a statement.
The airport has been performing sanitation in high-traffic areas and points frequently touched by passengers every few hours. The airport resumed its domestic flight operations last May.
