IndiGo’s operations throughout India faced significant disruptions on December 6. Over 400 flights were canceled, leaving thousands of passengers stranded at airports in cities like Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad. Following these disruptions, the Ministry has instructed IndiGo to process all refunds.

Earlier this week, the air quality saw a brief respite from the toxic air in the city, as the overall AQI recorded was 299 on Thursday (8 AM). However, today, it has again worsened with residents feeling the hazy air and dense layer of smog.

Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant also expressed deep grief over the Arpora fire that killed 23 people, describing it as a “very painful day” for the state, and ordered an inquiry into the incident.
