On March 24, Ashik had booked a ticket Bengaluru-Mangaluru flight ticket for March 27. When he reached the airport on scheduled time, he came to know by one of the airline staff about the cancellation of the flight.

Dear Monika and Zubair,
Why do you ignore this case.

Whatever be the reason, still they are liable as per their own terms and conditions of ticket.
Taking easy will cause them to be more ignorant in the future.

Everyone will have their own implication and consequential losses.

It is not a silly matter. It is a serious matter. These days we have sms, whatsapp, email or mobile, they can use any means to inform passengers . It is clear negligence of the Airlines. They should learn the lesson, if not we have to teach them a lesson.
If a passenger is late for just 10 minutes, they will straight away refuse to issue boarding pass.
Well done brother.

Bengaluru, Apr 1: The price of petrol and diesel will go up by Rs 1.60 and Rs 1.59 per litre, respectively, from Wednesday. This is in line with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa’s decision to hike the rate of tax on petrol from 32% to 35% and diesel from 21% to 24%.

He had announced this in his March 5 Budget for 2020-21 fiscal. At present, a litre of petrol costs Rs 71.97 and diesel Rs 64.41 in Bengaluru.

The government decided to roll out the hike from Tuesday midnight going into Wednesday, April 1, after briefly considering a postponement in view of the COVID-19 crisis. 

Finance Secretary (Budget & Resources) Ekroop Caur confirmed to DH that the hike will be rolled out. 

The 3% hike on fuel tax was a key resource mobilisation measure that Yediyurappa announced in his Budget. The hike is expected to fetch the government Rs 1,500 crore. 

Yediyurappa had also announced a 6% additional excise duty on Indian Made Liquor (IML), which could help the government mop up Rs 1,200 crore. However, the sale of liquor has been prohibited during the lockdown period. Plus, hiking fuel prices during the lockdown will not hit citizens very hard.
