Apex child rights body NCPCR on May 9 took cognisance of IndiGo airlines barring a specially-abled child from boarding a flight at the Ranchi airport, and said appropriate action will be taken.
The airline barred the specially-abled child from boarding the flight on May 7 as he was in “a state of panic”. Aviation regulator DGCA has started a probe and asked the airline to submit a report.
In a tweet, National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) chairperson Priyank Kanoongo said, “An incident of misbehaviour with a specially-abled child by staff of IndiGo at Ranchi airport has come out. Cognisance is being taken for appropriate action.”
