Celebrity chef Vikas Khanna has urged Mumbai airport authorities to remove the carpets in its terminals, citing them as a health hazard for individuals with respiratory conditions like asthma and bronchitis. Khanna described the carpets as "unnecessary and unacceptable" and "beyond cleaning," potentially leading to serious breathing issues. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) acknowledged Khanna's concerns, stating that the matter has been shared with relevant teams for appropriate corrective measures, including thorough cleaning and necessary action.
