Airport Modernization - Whats the fuss ??
Second day after the Union Ministry came out with their decision to privatize / modernize Airports and there is so much hungama happening. So many people troubled by the protests that are happening at almost all the airports in India. I heard that the major reason for all this protest is the announcement of about 60% of the people being retained post modernization.
Most country airports have reached such a level that they have online webpages. A trip to any Indian airport on the contrary, shows how badly equipped and prehistoric they are in their approach to things even in this time and age. To add to this, the politicians over the years, in a move to have a bigger vote bank, have had their way, employing more people than actually required. The irony is that not too many of these extra dudes actually turn out excellent work, behave pretty much in the chalta hai attitude.
The Government initiative to modernize airports is a step in the right direction, considering that India is moving towards being a super power and infrastructure is a key factor in development of a county.

The fuss is that the people in these positions need to be complacent about their jobs. Modernization understandbly stands to eliminate some of the jobs by way of automation or any such source. In such a scenario, a union based on communist values is going to push itself against this as much as possible, merely for the sake of their own selves. They have little regard for the fact that India needs this with growing Air traffic and more competition in the field. I think we need a more pseudo-communist approach like China where-in they put in the development of infrastructure above the collective will of people fearing their jobs.
