No support, planning and action by cisf

Thus far Delhi Airport has been infinitely better than Heathrow or Schiphol or any American airport. Hope it is like this for a few more hrs pic.twitter.com/aebwdbu4pI

Flying out of #Delhiairport is like a long obstacle race 30 min just to enter , another 30 min at baggage drop & the grand finale 45 min at security assuming no one jumps the queue .. compare with #Bengaluru airport that streamlines passenger traffic better pic.twitter.com/pvwf7YCjWf
