Varanasi: No Nepalese passenger could fly to Sharjah from Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport in the city in the last 10 days after the Nepal government urged the airport authorities to strictly scrutinise travelling documents of its passengers in order to put a check on trafficking of girls and women to Gulf countries.
"Not a single passenger from Nepal could produce required documents for travel in the last 10 days, hence they were not allowed to board the flights. Earlier, five-25 passengers, mostly girls and women, used to fly for Sharjah everyday. There is a daily flight to Sharjah from Varanasi airport," Air India manager at Varanasi Atif Idris told TOI on Wednesday.
"Earlier, we had no written order to prevent any Nepalese passenger from boarding the Sharjah flight. But after we received guidelines from the Nepal government, we are not allowing passengers to go without valid documents," he added.
