India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation has asked all airlines to de-board passengers who don’t adhere to safety measures.
In addition, those passengers will be treated as “unruly passengers”, it said in a statement on its Twitter account.
Masks must not be worn below the nose. They must be worn at all times – from entering the airport for departure to exiting after arrival.
Airports must ensure that passengers wear masks properly at all times.
“In case any passenger is not following Covid-19 protocols, they should be handed over to security agencies after proper warnings,” it added.
