Dimapur: In a shocking incidence of utter callousness by Air India ,
around 15 Naga students who had to fly to Delhi, Chennai and other
cities, either for admissions or sitting for selection interviews on
June 25, were today unceremoniously offloaded and discriminated by Air
India authorities despite possessing confirmed seat.
The students all aged between 19 to 26 years including both boys and girls , said when they were about to obtain boarding passes at the counter, they were shocked to be told that their seats “ were no more”.
All the students reported that they had received SMS flight time delay alert, which meant confirmation of their seats upto the time the plane flew in from Dibrugarh.
Reliable sources informed Nagaland Post that no plausible explanation was given to the victimized students nor any concrete decision about their next flight since there is no flight to Dimapur on June 25.
The sources said despite all efforts to urge the airlines to make provide confirmation and also demanding why they have been offloaded, the vague explanation they got was that their seats were sold to others somewhere by someone.
As the news of the incident spread at the airport Tuesday, parents and public alike demanded that strong action and punishment be initiated against person/authority responsible for humiliation.
The demand seemed justified since the victimized and humiliated students have lost their chances of appearing for interviews after their successes in the recent Secondary and Degree exams.
