178 passengers stranded at Dibrugarh ferries to Kolkata
The Ministry of Civil Aviation on Thursday said 178 passengers stranded at Dibrugarh in Assam have been flown to Kolkata in an IndiGo flight.
The stranded passengers have been evacuated in a phased manner, the ministry said in a series of tweets earlier in the day.
“In a major relief for all those stranded in Dibrugarh, a @Indigo6E flight to Kolkata has departed carrying all the 178 passengers. This would not have been possible without the intervention of the local administration and the airline. Thank you everyone involved,” the ministry said in a late evening tweet.
On Thursday, airlines cancelled flights to various places in Assam, which are witnessing unrest due to protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB).
