Excessive delays, poor customer service and irresponsibility of airlines are troubling passengers. They are just helplessly tagging @DGCAIndia and the Aviation Minister, but the Minister, the Ministry and the media have maintained silence. If Congress had been in government, there would have been 24x7 non-stop media coverage of this situation.
