The inspection by the officials came weeks after Mr. Raju said he had received several complaints on the maintenance of the Chennai airport.

Chennai airport underwent an extensive modernisation few years ago that included building of new domestic and international terminals, extension of secondary runway and construction of new fire station.

But ever since the terminals were inaugurated in January 2013, this is the second time that Mr Raju has called for inspection of the airport.
