Flight takes off leaving 50 pilgrims behind

Author: inp

In what seems to be a sheer neglect, an international airlines flight on Monday departed for Saudi Arabia leaving behind 50 pilgrims behind at the Karachi airport. The checked-in passengers started a protest against the administration over mismanagement and demanded to arrange another flight for them. They also demanded the Pakistan Ministry of the Religious Affairs to take notice of the incident.
