Passengers travelling from abroad at Delhi International Airport created ruckus over the arrangements in the wake of coronavirus outbreak.

In a video that went viral on social media, the passengers are seen alleging that their passports have been confiscated and they are being made to stand in queues. However, the Delhi Airport authorities said it was a two-day old video and everything was under control now.

Multiple videos started doing rounds on social media on Wednesday. The video was also tweeted, but later deleted by actress Soni Razdan after the airport authorities issued a clarification.

In these videos passengers are seen standing in queues, shouting at the authorities for keeping their passports and “poor arrangements” at the airport. An official at the airport said, “These videos are from March 16 when passengers from Paris and Frankfurt onboard AI 142 and AI 120, respectively, landed and created a storm over allocation of quarantine facilities. We have taken care of complaints and took all possible measures to fix all issues. Now there is no chaos at immigration counters.” He added, “Now a system has been put in place such a way that no one is required to submit his or her passport with the authorities concerned before undergoing the tests.”
