New Delhi:
The state-run carrier Air India that has been sending its planes to coronavirus-hit nations to bring back stranded Indians have criticised “vigilante resident welfare associations” for “ostracising” crew who have been abroad to help out in rescue operations.
“…It is alarming to note that in many localities, vigilante Resident Welfare Associations and neighbours have started ostracizing the crew, obstructing them from performing their duty or even calling in the police, simply because the crew travelled abroad in the course of their duty,” Air India said in a statement.
“These vigilantes have conveniently forgotten that many a spouse, parent, sibling, child and near and dear one have been brought home safe and secure from affected countries, thanks to the heroic efforts of these Air India crew,” the airline said.
