IndiGo Under Fire as Sudhir Mishra's Medicines Go Missing

Mumbai, October 28: Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra has voiced his frustration over an IndiGo Airlines flight after his luggage did not reach Dharamshala with him, leaving him without his medicines and essentials.

Mishra flew from Delhi to Dharamshala. When he arrived, he learnt that his bag had been left behind in Delhi. He was then informed that it would be brought to him through Chandigarh by Wednesday evening.

The missing bag, he said, carried all his medicines and important personal items. The delay has left him anxious about his health and comfort during his time in the hill town.

Unhappy with the situation, the filmmaker turned to social media platform X to share his concerns and question the airline's handling of the matter.

He wrote, "I have come to Dharamshala for the next few days. I reached here from Delhi by IndiGo flight. On arrival, I was told my luggage has been left behind in Delhi. Now I am being told that my luggage will reach me via Chandigarh by Wednesday evening. All my medicines and essential items are in that same bag."

He further remarked, "This is extremely disappointing and distressing."
