MUMBAI : As India readies several airports across India to resume domestic flight operations in a gradual manner from tomorrow, the Maharashtra government has red-flagged the move.
Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has said it is "extremely ill-advised" to reopen airports in red zone amid the coronavirus pandemic. "Its extremely ill-advised to reopen airports in red zone.
Mere thermal scanning of passengers inadequate w/o swabs. Impossible to have autos/cabs/buses ply in current circumstances. Adding positive passenger will add Covid stress to red zone," Deshmukh tweeted on Sunday. "Getting passengers to come from a green zone to a red one putting them to risk of exposure doesn't make sense.
