Today, after two whole months, the second largest airport of the country is back in awe. Four moons are taking place in this battle because it is Eid today and many people are 'returning inside the country to celebrate Eid among their own.' Flights are canceled. Before coming here, neither these people received any SMS regarding the cancellation of the flight nor any email or phone. Those who have good luck and whose flight has not been canceled, queue up at different gates of the airport. Have stood up. Today these lines of people are very different from ordinary days. First, this epidemic of corona has put a monochromatic sheet on the colorful variety seen at the airport. Mask-covered faces follow a monotonous robot when following a social distancing and move slowly to a certain distance.
Keeping in mind the danger of infection, a number of new arrangements have been made at the airport.

For example, auto-censored hand-sanitizers have been put in place, markings have been made on the ground to maintain social distancing, many such machines for boarding passes have been installed on the airport verandah which people themselves The security personnel are constantly warning travelers what to do to avoid infection, to take a print of the pass and hang a loud speaker on the shoulder. At the time of boarding, all passengers are also being given a kit, which has a face mask, face shield and sanitizer pouch.
All passengers' belongings are being sanitized even before entering the airport. Large bags with check-in are being sanitized by putting them on a belt like scanning machine while some workers are stationed with sprays to sanitize people's hand-bags.
E-tickets, boarding passes and identity cards of all people are being checked at the gate for admission to the airport. The new one is that after this investigation, the body temperature of the people is being measured after a few steps, as well as their status on the Arogya Setu app. For many people like Kamlesh, this phase of investigation has become extremely difficult because their smartphone broke down and malfunctioned yesterday. Now they do not have the option to download the app.
Investigators are asking to download the Arogya Setu App to all those people who have not done so yet. But understanding Kamlesh's position, he lets him in when he shows a print out of an auto-generated email from Air India. This email has been received by many people who claimed to be healthy by filling the online form.
The second line that appears after this first link of security is checked in the luggage. There are new arrangements for this as well. Today, people have to remove the tags made on the goods by making them online and then applying it on their own. Those who have not done so, have the option of writing their PNR number on a blank paper and sticking it on the same item.

Two other forms are also being filled at the same counter. On a form, people have to acknowledge that if they are quarantined they will bear the expenses themselves, if they are sent back to the destination state, they will also bear the expenses and if any penalty is imposed on the airline These passengers will be charged only.
By signing this form, when the airline pushes its way forward, another form is handed over to them. This second form is an acknowledgment that passengers have no symptoms of corona, they are not accustomed to coming from any containment zone.
One of these two forms is kept with an air line and is given to a passenger only. Travelers are being sent for frisking from here. Every tray found at the time of frisking is constantly being sanitized and a metal detector has also been made to test people from a distance of three feet.
After going through all these investigations, when the passengers are moving towards their boarding gate, the proper distance between them is still being taken care of. All the seating arrangements have been made in such a way that no two people can sit together to keep the faces tied in masks. Those beautiful couches made in the shape of S have been broken from the middle in which once a couple of people used to sit. In the bench of three-three people, instructions have been placed on the middle seat that this seat be kept vacant.
