Shiv Sena workers vandalize the signboard of ‘Adani Airport’ in Mumbai
A group of Shiv Sena workers allegedly vandalized a neon signboard with ‘Adani airport’ written near the statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, a few kilometers from the airport, on Monday afternoon, a police official said.
They raised slogans against the signboard when the airport was named after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Some activists later came to the Western Express Highway located nearby, temporarily disrupting traffic on the city’s main north-south road, the official said.

The Adani Group last month said it has taken over the management of Mumbai International Airport from GVK Group. Mumbai International Airport is the second busiest airport in the country (after Delhi’s IGIA) by both passenger and freight traffic.
With the addition of Mumbai International Airport Limited, Adani Airport Holdings Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Limited, will now control 33 percent of India’s air cargo traffic, the company said in a statement.
