New Delhi, August 24: Travellers from Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport will soon be greeted with a big development. The mustard yellow carpet that spreads across the terminal 3 will be replaced with a hard flooring soon. Many passengers had expressed the discomfort of lugging away their trolley bags on the carpet. A passenger, Suyash Gupta recently tweeted about the dirty rug flooring and his tweet got a response from the Delhi International Airport Pvt Ltd (DIAL) saying it will be removed.

The passenger tweeted to the junior minister of civil aviation Jayant Sinha about the discomfort on August 18. He mentioned that T3 of Delhi Airport needs an urgent upgrade, also mentioning about the stinky smell of the carpets. Since then Sinha has asked DIAL to follow up. The tweet was noticed and replied saying the phase-wise work to replace the carpet flooring will be undertaken.

Take a look at the passenger Suyash Gupta's complaint about the carpet flooring:

Here is the reply of Delhi Airport:

The work for putting up a hard flooring will likely start before the end of  October. A spokesperson was quoted to TOI, "We have chosen a solution which is designed for heavy passenger loads, as observed in airports. Post completion, this will enhance the overall passenger experience, especially while dragging strollers in between the travellators."

The current mustard coloured carpet was installed in the year 2010. At that time the quality and vibrancy were appreciated but over the years, it has become a struggle to take the wheeling bags on the carpeted area. It is now about time the struggle for travellers end.
