Chaos at Amritsar airport as Toronto-bound passengers not allowed to board flight

Sixty Toronto-bound passengers, most of whom were students, were left stranded at Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport here as the agent who had booked a chartered flight for them allegedly cheated them.

To board the flight, passengers, along with their kin, started arriving at the airport on Monday afternoon. There were two chartered flights of SpiceJet, which were to take them to Toronto, Canada. However, they were not allowed to board the flight. Following intervention of Amritsar MP Gurjit Singh Aujla, their issue was resolved as the airline agreed to ferry many passengers on existing tickets.
