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.

In a complaint written to the airline, Ashik claimed that the sudden cancellation of the flight had caused inconveniences to many passengers like him. There pregnant women, elders and children among those who had booked the tickets, he said.

After a few days, Ashik received a written apology from the airline, which claimed that the cancellation of the flight was inevitable due to technical reason.

However, an unsatisfied Ashik has raised a question why the airline did not inform the passengers prior to the cancellation. “In this age of communication, it is not difficult for the airline to inform the passengers before cancelling the flight,” he argued.

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, Jun 23: In an attempt to avoid exploitation of patients affected with coronavirus, the Karnataka government on Tuesday announced fixing charges that could be collected from patients by the private hospitals for treatment in the State.

There are now two sets of rates for patients--those who are referred by public health facilities and those who approach private hospitals directly.

According to the notification issued by State Chief Secretary TM Vijay Bhaskar on Tuesday, 50 per cent of the total beds in private hospitals having facilities to treat Covid-19 patients shall be reserved for the treatment of patients referred by public health authorities.

This will include the high-dependency unit and ICU (intensive care unit) beds both with and without ventilators. The hospitals may utilise the remaining Covid beds for admitting Covid-19 patients privately.
