IndiGo Cancels 19 Flights, Delays 16 From Delhi Amid Citizenship Protests

Road blockades by the police and dense fog led to hundreds of flyers being stranded in and around Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on Thursday, the Hindustan Times reported. Many flights were also cancelled or postponed.

Police tightened checking at border areas in view of the ongoing protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act, leading to massive traffic jams on National Highway 8 and MG Road. Hundreds of residents of Gurugram were stuck on the roads for hours, while many missed flights, including crew members from various airlines.

Delhi International Airport Limited, the airport operator, tweeted requests to the flyers to get in touch with their airlines to get the latest update about flight schedules.
