'Don't check-in passengers with stapled Chinese visa'

New Delhi: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has instructed all airlines not to check-in any passenger who has a Chinese visa stapled on his or her passport.
The DGCA instruction comes weeks after India declared as "invalid" the standalone paper visas given by the Chinese embassy here and consulates in Mumbai and Kolkata to Indians from Jammu and Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh. A travel advisory issued by the External Affairs Ministry last month asked those going to China to ensure that their visas are pasted on their passports.
