One week has passed, no response from your office.
Would truly appreciate if you send the photographs of the same places to show how CSIA has improved and rectified the low level of hygiene, cleanliness, lighting, etc., if at all, of the various areas as seen in the photos sent on 2011 JUL 30.
If you wish, the original photos can be sent again for your immediate reference.
Thanqx.

Namaskar,
Since this involves the image of Mumbai, I am copying this communication to many of my colleagues, friends and others, so that they are also kept upto date with what is the current status of the Mumbai's international airport.
Really regret to say that whatever is being projected as your vision, highlighted in your email below, as the pride of Mumbai, is something quite far from it
http://csia.in/knowyourairport/aboutcsia.aspx
Our Vision for CSIA: To be one of the World's best airports that consistently delights customers and be the pride of Mumbai
As already informed to you, the land side, ie, city side of the CSIA International terminal is quite a sorry story, has deteriorated drastically from the time it was privatised.
It doesn't matter if there are 250 + stores or so many lounges, etc., what matters is the real time on ground experience for the average user and visitor
It is not enough to put up a gl;ass and steel air condition, me, too, stereotypical anywhere building and then relax and state that its state of the art, contemporary, etc.
It needs good management and housekeeping and people friendly actions.
Three examples of this poor management, all the three times and nights, different flights, Air India, Emirates, Jet, all landed early.
Didn't get parking bay for a long time.
The passenger, all known to the undersigned, s didn't get their baggage for over an hour.
Details on request, though I am sure you know that this is the status nowadays.
And when one enters the airport area, with the very poorly managed traffic leading to the arrivals and departures, and lighting in the night, not to mention the World class pot holed road both sides, one photograph is an example, gives a dismal picture of what is in store.
The multi level car parking is so dark and dingy, it is really surprising how people are paying Rs.65 per hour average, because they have no choice, and then only five minutes to pick up, or Rs.60 for the next ten minutes, or Rs.500 or tow away after that, etc.
What kind of timings are these.
Be that as it may, the parking area is not only dark and dingy, but dirty, with strong smell of urine, I don't have any way of forwarding that, and filthy, flooded, leaking, and truly third class.
Is this some railway station like Kurla or Bandra, or an international airport.
So you may blame the people using it having no civic sense, like see how some idiots, to use a polite word, have thrown the wrappers, glasses, etc., after having their fast food, how about maintaining it clean, irrespective of these types of idiots, to use a polite word.
No cleaning staff seen in the parking area since years.
Can one accept such pathetic standards in an international terminal.
The crew pick up area is dark, many of the buses have illegal horns,, etc., CSIA inter terminal, and blow them to call the crew.
The pathway from the multi level parking to the arrivals meeting area is dirty, in the rains it gets flooded, the bathroom is smelly, poorly maintained, etc, the roof of the passageway leaks.
Apart from the fact that tens of unauthorised auto riksha drivers soliciting customers are a nuisance.
And are illegal tea vendors allowed to use baggage trollies for their business, which itself again makes it like Kurla or Bandra stations.
Initially I remember vendors moving with a thermos flask and a few plastic glasses, now they are bold enough to move with a number of them and on CSIA baggage trollies.
The gullible public, who buy liquid refreshments from these types, then dispose the plastic eco un friendly cups anywhere, even on other trollies, as seen in the photo.
The drain cover, which looks like it may be on Mumbai's roads, full of pan, and litter, is actually one of those in the arrivals meeting area.
One fellow just threw an packet corner in the general direction of this drain cover, I told him that there is a waste bin somewhere near the stall, and he strolled away.
Hardly any garbage and litter bins seen, so one would hardly be surprised that people dispose the litter anywhere.
What to say about the illegal horns by the CSIA inter terminal coaches, blowing indiscriminately causing noise pollution, and add to that the other bus company coaches also, which simply create a cacophony and echo in the departures area.
The vehicles continue to halt and park haphazardly in the departures, without regulation in the international and domestic departures and domestic arrivals .
See how Kolkata airport effectively controls this by putting median dividers, forcing drivers to move as sono as they load, unload and not wait just five minutes, as is the case here, particularly the many self styled VIP vehicles and the SUV types.
All the pictures, except Kolkata, were taken between 23h30 on 2011 JUL 29, and 01h30 2011 JUL 30.
