Airport Authority Threatens to Seize Sahara’s Mumbai Hotel

Mumbai: In yet another blow to the beleaguered Sahara Group, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has terminated the lease of the posh Hotel Sahara Star and threatened on Friday to seize the prime property situated outside Mumbai Airport. The AAI Western Region (AAI-WR) slapped a notice terminating the 2002 lease agreement and warning of the consequences for alleged failure on the part of Sahara Hospitality Ltd (SHL) to pay up the outstanding lease dues. A SHL spokesperson confirmed to IANS that they had received the AAI notice and said: “We are taking appropriate measures to resolve the matter.” (IANS)
