“We have been waiting at the airport since a long time. There is a three-month-old baby among other kids, who are travelling. However, there is nobody here to give us an answer as to when the flight will take off. Even they gave us bad food to eat. The airport staff is dealing unprofessionally and even told a few to refund their money from the sites they booked,” a passenger told ANI.
