Chandigarh, December 11
New Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport is in news for quite some time now for being cram full with passengers these days. As per people flagging off their concerns on Twitter, passengers have to wait for hours for security clearances and other formalities at their respective airlines counters.
There is no dearth of such complains on Twitter where people have been tagging key airport officials and even Civil Aviation ministry to take note of extremely grim situation. Most complaints are regarding overcrowding at Terminal 3 of the airport, where many shared images show people packed like sardines.
Highway on My Plateshow host Rocky Singh was one among the complainants. “Good morning – 5:30 am Delhi T3 and welcome to HELL … 35 minutes to get into the airport – 25 minutes at a comparatively empty Vistara and now … the mother of all security lines … SECURITY !!! Abandon hope all ye who enter here,” he wrote while tagging Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia in his post.

Doing a security check in @DelhiAirport right now. If you are going to Delhi airport perhaps go a day early. Even then you have to be street-smart and loud-mouthed to get your chance. pic.twitter.com/GsI6RSamnk
The chaos at T3 terminal at Delhi International Airport is real.
This is at about 6 am today.
The baggage carousels are full. Same carousel for multiple aircrafts. Luggage lying all over. No place to walk and find your belongings. No trolleys.#DelhiAirport pic.twitter.com/o0SvJgUbJ9
