Air India Express Passengers Inconvenienced by Curfew

Mangalore: Passengers who arrived in Air India Express from Dubai at the Bajpe airport on Saturday evening suffered owing to the implications of curfew imposed on Mangalore city and Ullal police limits yesterday.
The district administration failed to provide them any transportation as promised. At this point on humanitarian grounds the Airports Authority of India (AAI) pressed its vehicles to service to transport Kerala-bound passengers to Mangalore central railway station. Of 185 passengers who landed at the airport from West Asia a majority of them were non-resident Indians (NRIs) from the State and neighbouring Kerala. Some passengers hired approximately 40 taxis available at the airport and traveled to their destinations under fear. For a little distance the taxis travelled under the supervision of police and Central Industrial Security Force personnel.
The AAI officials dropped approximately 30 passengers to Mangalore railway station on Saturday.
