She said passengers had to undergo a lot of checking at Delhi and Bhopal airports. She added that passengers were screened at both the airports.

"Overall arrangements were good. We followed social distancing norms on flight. I am just rearing to go home now. My father has come to receive me," she said.

When asked whether he didn't feel afraid of flying amidst the coronavirus crisis, a passenger said, "We are taking a risk now but it was needed because one doesn't know how long will the lockdown last. We followed the social distancing norms and rules. The arrangements were good".
