Delhi High Court has taken note of air passengers not wearing masks properly and issued guidelines to all domestic airlines and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation for strict compliance.

Justice C. Hari Shankar saw passengers not wearing masks properly on a flight and took suo motu cognisance.

The guidelines say masks should be worn covering the nose and mouth. If any passenger refuses to comply before take-off, they should be offloaded.

Passengers refusing to comply in air should have action taken against them, which could include placing them on a “no-fly” regimen.
