Mangaluru, May 19: Two passengers who arrived in the city from Dubai after agreeing for the conditions stipulated, did not agree to the condition of being sent to institutional quarantine in the city upon their arrival here on Monday, May 18. This caused a lot of inconveniences and wait for other passengers. Both of them refused to be quarantined here and sought to travel to another destination.
One of them insisted on being allowed to travel to Maharashtra while the other wanted to be sent to Bengaluru. The district administration stayed firm but they brought pressure on the administration by making use of their high-level contacts.
Because of these two passengers, other passengers and officials were held up in the airport for about 45 minutes. At last, the man who wanted to go to Bengaluru was allowed to go there, while the passenger who wanted to go to Maharashtra was quarantined here in a hotel.
Normally, the entire process takes two hours since the arrival of the aircraft. But the two passengers caused a further delay of 45 minutes.
