Earlier, the DGCA had issued instructions to declare passengers refusing to wear face masks as 'profligates' and debar them from flying for a period of time. In such a situation, the passengers who did not wear masks properly were asked to wear masks properly and action was also taken against those who did not obey. After the new guidelines of the Ministry of Civil Aviation, no action will be taken if the passengers do not wear masks.
