Kuwait: 60 Indian passengers of Gulf Air stranded at Kuwait Airport left for Manchester at 04:34 am on Monday. The flight was cancelled due to a technical snag. All the Indian passengers were stranded here for about 20 hours. He called it a terrible dream. Alleging discrimination, people travelling on Gulf Air flight GF005 from Mumbai to Manchester claimed that UK passport holders were given accommodation but Indians were initially denied help, food and water.
All the British passport holders made arrangements for themselves at the hotels due to the visa-on-arrival facility, while the Indian passport holders were left without any information, food and help, Shivansh said on the internet media. After the issue was raised on the internet media, the Indian Embassy in Kuwait took up the matter with Gulf Air. The embassy team reached the airport and the passengers were made to sit in the lounge.
