Screening of passengers from foreign countries at Pune airport

Pune, Aug 10 (PTI) Passengers coming from foreign
countries are being screened at the Lohegaon airport here, as
part of measures to curb the spread of swine flu which has
claimed three lives in the city, a top official on Monday
said.

"The screening at the airport is foolproof and there
is no laxity in the process," the Airports Authority of India
official said.

There are three international flights, those of Air
India, Jet Airways and Lufthansa, to the city airport every
day, carrying around 200 passengers, he said.

The state health department has deputed three doctors
and adequate number of para-medical staff at the airport, the
official said. PTI SSG
