Prayers at the 136-year-old mosque located inside the Kolkata Airport premises have been suspended over security concerns. The structure, situated barely 165 metres from the runway, has been flagged as a potential obstacle to flight operations and airport expansion. Airport authorities have stopped issuing entry passes to worshippers. Discussions are intensifying between the Centre and the West Bengal government to relocate the mosque outside the airport boundary.
