Air India Wishes Ms Kanwar슬롯사이트™s Grandmother Speedy Recovery

Taking to social media platform X, Parul Kanwar, the granddaughter posted that her grandmother 슬롯사이트œhas been in the ICU for two days and the left side of her body is losing strength슬롯사이트�. 슬롯사이트œI post this because I have no choice and because it infuriates me that there is such little value for human life and wellbeing. Air India, you treated my grandmother so poorly, and with such little regard. You should be ashamed,슬롯사이트� Kanwar said.

Narrating the incident, she stated that upon reaching the airport, they were not allocated a wheelchair for "almost an hour슬롯사이트�, following which the senior citizen had to walk a considerable distance. But she fell near a counter of the airline, leaving her with a bleeding lip and injuries to her head and nose.

슬롯사이트œNot one person stepped in to help. We requested someone to help get first aid - no help,슬롯사이트� said Kanwar, noting that they even tried to seek help from 슬롯사이트œIndigo, who incidentally had a free wheelchair but won슬롯사이트™t share슬롯사이트�. After suffering the fall, Pasricha was not even provided first aid. And then, when the wheelchair finally arrived, the elderly woman was made to board the plane without a proper checkup.

The cabin crew administered her with ice packs and informed the Bengaluru airport for medical assistance. Denying the allegations, Air India in a statement said the senior citizen 슬롯사이트œhad arrived at the departure terminal much later than the recommended 2 hours before departure슬롯사이트�.

슬롯사이트œDue to the unprecedented peak demand at that hour, a wheelchair could not be made available within the 15 minutes that the passenger슬롯사이트™s relatives spent waiting for it. The claims of the passenger having waited for an hour for the wheelchair are baseless슬롯사이트�. While calling the fall of the woman 슬롯사이트œunfortunate슬롯사이트� the airline noted that the 슬롯사이트œairport doctor on duty immediately attended to her and administered first aid슬롯사이트�.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Mumbai: Elderly Man Walks From Plane to Terminal Due to Shortage of Wheelchair at Airport, Collapses and Dies.

Air India슬롯사이트™s staff cooperated with the guests through their journey,슬롯사이트� said the airline.
