With only 15 days left for the Navi Mumbai International Airport to begin operations and welcome flyers from across the country, a mid-day walkthrough of the access routes revealed a major safety lapse. An 800-metre stretch on the road officially named Navi Mumbai International Airport Road, towards Panvel, has no street light infrastructure at all.
