There is no announcement in Marathi on Mumbai airports. This makes every Marathi speaking person feel that these airports do not belong to him or her. It also brings about a disturbing feeling of having come in an alien area, a foreign land or even a mildly hostile place, which brings about a feeling alienation, anxiety and of unnecessary pressure and stress. This happens especially in case of the vast majority of the Maharashtrians whose mother tongue is not Hindi or English.

It is essential to vehemently pursue this matter and enforce the government and the concerned agencies to bring about the necessary change and start announcement in Marathi on these airports in Mumbai, which is the capital of Maharashtra.



That would make all Marathi people coming from the nook and corner of Maharashtra; feel at home on these otherwise alien and hostile appearing airports. It would also make all Marathi people feel that Mumbai airports belong to Maharashtra and residents of Maharashtra.
