To operate the new terminal, there was a requirement of 222 CIRF personnel.
The new terminal at Pune airport will be operational in the next eight to ten days, said Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol on Saturday.
“The new terminal is ready but due to some issues like manpower and shifting of immigration centre, it got delayed,” he said.
