GUWAHATI: In a shocking incident, a 34-year-old man flew from Delhi to Kolkata via Guwahati with a COVID positive report in his pocket.
The passenger took a flight on July 14 to reach his home state in West Bengal from Delhi.
Since flight operations from Delhi to Kolkata remain suspended, he took a connecting flight from Guwahati and reached Kolkata Airport around 5 PM.
Upon reaching Kolkata, the passenger insisted the airport officials to admit him to a quarantine centre immediately. However, Kolkata airport authority didn’t find any COVID related symptoms in the passenger as his body temperature was also normal upon checking.
