Bengaluru engineer disappointed at flight being cancelled

City-based metallurgical engineer Ravi Kumar along with 319 other Indians, who were waiting at the Sana'a airport in strife-torn Yemen to be airlifted, today were disappointed after the authorities concerned announced the cancellation of the flight after the plane was denied landing permission.
"As many as 320 Indians were called to Sana'a airport this evening. Just after we checked in, the airport authorities announced the cancellation of the plane to airlift us from the strife-torn Yemen. The flight was cancelled as the authorities denied landing permission," Ravi said in a Whatsapp message sent to PTI office here.
Ravi also urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to directly look into the issue.

He said the dejected Indians have returned to their respective homes. "All the 320 Indians have returned to their homes," he added.
"I am in worst condition. Getting panicky. Food scarcity becoming big issue. Please help," he said.
Ravi had left on a business trip on March 12 and was now stranded in a hotel. Ravi was supposed to return on March 26, but could not as the strife broke out the same day.
