Hours after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal urged the Centre to ban flights to and from Singapore in view of a new Covid variant, Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said the Centre is taking all precautions and keeping an eye on the situation.
Responding to Kejriwal on Twitter, Puri said, “Kejriwal ji, all international flights have been stopped since March 2020. We have no air bubble with Singapore either.”
Only a few flights are being operated between the two countries under Vande Bharat Mission to bring stranded Indians back, Puri added.
“We are still keeping an eye on the situation. All precautions are being taken,” the Union Aviation Minister noted.
