Flight delays due to demonstrations at Indira Gandhi International Airport

Published by December 20,2019

On December 12, the president of India signed the citizenship amendment to make it a formal law. According to the citizenship amendment, before December 31, 2014, illegal immigrants from three neighboring countries, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, with multiple religions, can obtain Indian nationality through simplified procedures, but only Muslims are excluded from the bill. The move triggered violent demonstrations among many people.

 

On the morning of the 19th, some parts of India's capital, New Delhi, demonstrated and protested. Police dispersed violent demonstrators at the scene.

 

 

At the same time, police set up checkpoints at the high-speed intersection of Gurgaon, a satellite city in the south of Delhi, to check the vehicles entering the city one by one, resulting in a large area of traffic paralysis in the section, and the congestion lasted for about several hours.

 

The congested section is close to Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi, India. According to the latest news from the Indian ani, 16 flights have been delayed due to the high-speed road congestion.

 

In addition, due to the failure of the crew to arrive at the airport on time and other reasons, 19 flights of indigo air, whose office is located in the satellite city of Gurgaon, were cancelled.
