The Ministry of Civil Aviation, through a circular issued on Saturday, stated that a lot of travellers were not adhering to Covid-19 protocols and non-compliance with the guidelines, which require individuals to wear masks properly and practise social distancing, could attract action as per law.

The circular stated that passengers should always, during their time on flights and inside the airport premises, wear masks and practise social distancing. It added that CISF or other police personnel will be deployed at the entrance to ensure that “no one is allowed to enter the Airport without wearing a mask”.
