Immigration stops 30 passengers from boarding Sharjah flight

Mohali: Immigration check officials stopped 30 passengers from boarding the Sharjah flight at Chandigarh International Airport on Thursday. When passengers who had been stopped from boarding the flight objected vocally, police had to be called to control the situation, said DSP Amroz Singh. He said these passengers were not allowed to board the flight as they had not fulfilled Covid guidelines issued by the UAE.

International flight operations were resumed at Chandigarh International Airport after almost two months with the departure of the Sharjah flight. Airport CEO Ajay Bhardwaj said 131 passengers boarded the flight from Chandigarh.
