VIP Cars and Touts Cause Chaos at Calcutta Airport

VIP Cars and Touts Cause Chaos at Calcutta Airport

The Calcutta airport is very busy and confusing, especially where people come out after their flights.

Big cars with special lights and signs for important people park right in front of the gates, making it hard for regular people to get to their own cars.

These cars stay parked for a long time, even though there are rules against it.

Also, there are people called touts who try to sell expensive taxi rides to travelers.

The airport and police say they are trying to fix these problems, but it's still happening.

Passengers, especially those with kids or lots of luggage, find it very difficult to move around.
