Airport Parking News

www.Parctel.com: But only if you are a babu *, neta * or chela *!

The Times of India reports as follows: HYDERABAD: For babus and netas used to freebies, here is some good news. They will continue to enjoy free parking status for their official cars at Shamshabad international airport. In fact, a free parking lot to accommodate up to 50 cars is being created at the new airport. Not only this, a separate facility is being readied to accommodate vehicles of slogan-shouting chelas who accompany their netas to the airport.

To avoid paying parking fees, government cars stride up and occupy the lane right in front of the airport terminal at the present Begumpet airport. But while Begumpet is an Airport Authority of India (AAI) and thus government-run facility, Shamshabad will be a private operation.

* babu - Used as a Hindi courtesy title for a man, equivalent to Mr.
* neta - a politician
* chela - a Hindu disciple of a swami

Methinks I am gonna brush up on my Hindi, take a neta training course and press the flesh so that I can get me some free airport parking.
