Returning Hajjis file FIR against Air India

Patna: 405 Hajj pilgrims of Bihar landed here on Monday by four flights. These pilgrims went for Hajj on 22nd and 23rd November 2007. First flight carrying 97 Hajjis, landed at 01:00 p.m.
These Hajjis became agitated as they stepped down because luggages of most of them did not arrive and they complained that they have to spend half day and a whole night at Jeddah airport in very pathetic condition.
One of the Haji, Sajid Ali showed a copy of FIR to the airport authorities and said that this is registered at Kolkata airport by Bihar pilgrims against Air India and if Air India and airport authority would not improve themselves then more FIRs will be registered.
"The airlines failed to make any arrangement for pilgrims' convenience who were ignored from the very get-go. To add insult to injury, the airlines lost luggage of over 500 passengers in Jeddah and Kolkata airports," Ali said.
None of the Hajis of fourth flight got Zamzam (a holy water) water whereas 30 pilgrims of third flight did not get it. Many had few items of their baggage missing and checked-in baggage did not arrive for 50 Hajis.
