Trichy: District collector, S Sivarasu has ordered the police department to take action against travel agencies cheating the passengers arriving at the Trichy airport from other countries and violating the standard operating procedure (SOP).
Air India Express has been operating flights under the Vande Bharat Mission to rescue Tamils stranded in various countries after the announcement of lockdown due to the outbreak of Covid-19. This apart, travel agencies have also been carrying Tamils by charter flights to Trichy on their own arrangements, collector said in a statement.
“The travel agencies collect the fare from the passengers as a package which also include Covid-19 tests for two times and providing quarantine facility at private hotels with food. However, the agencies are not testing the passengers twice. The swab should be lifted after they arrive at the airport and the second swab test must be conducted after the completion of seven days quarantine,” he said.
