“This is an Air India flight to Patna. Today is May 18, and it is 4 pm. We are inside the aircraft for an hour without air conditioning. You can see how much we are sweating. The children are affected, many people are affected, but there is no one to see the matter,” Mr. Mishra, running under his forehead, said the airfrants said.
