KOLKATA: Three passengers were fined Rs 100 each for not wearing masks inside the airport terminal on Thursday night and Wednesday morning as the airport operator cracked down on those not adhering to the Covid rules. The imposition of fines follows aviation regulator DGCA’s warnings and fresh guidelines in view of the rising Covid cases.
“Only those passengers wearing masks are allowed entry into the terminal. Those who do not have masks are directed to gate 3C that can be accessed by everyone to purchase a mask from the pharmacy desk, which came up there. Inside, we have deployed minders to request people who are taking off the masks to wear them. But there are some who are flouting the rules. Three persons were fined, all in the check-in area,” said airport director C Pattabhi.
