At Delhi airport, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), controls the security.The passenger footfall is also high as the New Year approaches, with many people going on holidays.There is no one here who cares or is here to assist in the smooth travel of passengers.A flight from domestic to a destination should be scheduled 4 hours before the flight. We've been in line for almost an hour and still no respite...CISF needs to increase counters, and GMR Delhi airport is getting worse than ISBT.Another passenger, Kit Walkar, tweeted about missing their flights today, referring to the Inter-State Bus Terminal, or ISBT.Later in the evening, some passengers tweeted about the situation, which appears to have improved when airport staff were seen conversing with passengers on how to enforce queue discipline.The whip got cracked at Delhi airport in one day.
