| Progressive Mumbai |
188 check-in counters, 60 immigration sites for departing
passengers and 76 immigration counters for incoming fliers, 52 boarding gates,
around 11,000 seats, 101 toilets, 44 travelators, 16 lounges, and 10 baggage
carrousels.
We are neither talking about Terminal 5 of London’s Heathrow
Airport nor about Terminal 3 of Singapore’s Changi Airport but Mumbai’s own
state-of-the-art and swanky T2. The financial capital of India can now boast of an airport
at par with the best in the world. From gardens and fountains to multilevel car
parks, the T2 at GVK Chhatrapati Shivaji International has everything to
provide fliers a whole new experience with its features. The most attractive
feature of the swanky terminal is the museum of artifacts. The exquisite 3 km
art wall will surely grab your eyeballs.
“There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone
in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society
for the future. The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be
built is unprecedented, and we believe this is the most important problem we
can focus on.” - Mark Zuckerberg
In a layman’s language, ‘Better the infrastructure, the more
developed the country’. The saying looks good on paper but not all political
parties believe in this ideology. In past one decade Mumbai has transformed
from a satellite township to a self-sufficient urban destination. From suburban
train services to the various slum rehabilitation schemes, Mumbai has truly witnessed
a politics of improvement, betterment and empowerment.
