Bengaluru: In response to the TNIE story dated February 7, published with the headline: ‘Skies thrill but venue disappoints’, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) on Friday said that adequate arrangements were made in terms of space, water, and food at the site.
“Over 35,000 sqft space was specially allotted for visitors and 20,000 water bottles were kept in addition to another 20,000 water bottles in reserve. Dedicated and adequate water pagodas were deployed with a large number of volunteers. To cater to children and senior citizens, two viewing galleries were made available and a large tent capable of accommodating over one lakh visitors was made available for visitors at the ADVA area”, said HAL spokesperson Gopal Sutar.
It was observed that during the show, visitors were taking chairs outside and moving closer to the barricades, he said. “However, considering that these are pre-event days, our teams take your (TNIE) story in the right spirit and strive to deliver the best possible services, not withstanding hot days predicted for Bengaluru before and during the Aero Show,” Sutar said.
