On 29 On 29 Jun 11, 785748-R Cpl Amitava Datta AFSO was detailed to supervise<br />
the MES personnel for repair of inverter at Runway Controller hut. During the<br />
progress of the task he observed that the arrester barrier was slightly lowered. Taking<br />
necessary clearance from the tower, he proceeded to the barrier and found that the<br />
barrier was of lesser height. He requested tower to lower and raise the barrier again.<br />
On raising of the barrier, he measured the center height and found it to be less than<br />
the required minimum barrier height. Sensing the danger, he declared arrester barrier<br />
as unserviceable and requested for assistance of CCR party. On inspection by CCR<br />
party it was revealed that the stanchion on the eastern side was struck.<br />
Cpl A Datta displayed keen observation and professional approach and prevented<br />
a potentially disastrous situation.<br />
