Budget airliner IndiGo in association with Delhi Police has launched a scheme to carry bodies of underprivileged residents of northeast India, who die in the national capital, to their homes free of cost. An IndiGo release said here on Saturday that “Aakhiri Ahuti” is a humanitarian initiative to ferry the human remains of the deceased belonging to the northeastern states.
“There were several incidents in which people from northeastern states residing in Delhi died. They were buried or cremated in Delhi without their kith or kin being present. Due to financial constraints, relatives of the deceased were unable to take the body back to their native place,” the release said.
It said that “Aakhiri Ahuti” was launched on Thursday.
“Only on the recommendations from the northeast unit of Delhi Police, IndiGo would ferry the human remains on a case to case basis.”
