Inadequate attention to safety concerns is also reported from the ground - in October, a young ground staffer was run over by an inter-terminal bus inside Delhi's international airport. Earlier this month, a state-level minister was hurt when the driver of the boarding bus braked suddenly to avoid a collision at Delhi's domestic airport.

Locals say Mitt Romney - leading McCain by 9 to 15 points in recent polls - attracts fewer visitors. Though Romney has been holding town halls in New Hampshire since last April, McCain has since surpassed him - holding more than 70, compared with Romney...
