Lightning causes havoc in Goa with flights diverted and protests erupting! #GoaNews #FlightDisruption

In a series of unfortunate events, IndiGo flights to and from Goa faced disruptions due to a lightning strike at the Manohar International Airport (MIA) damaging the runway lights. The chaos led to six diverted flights, causing inconvenience to passengers. IndiGo Airline issued a travel advisory urging passengers to seek assistance from their crew and on-ground team to navigate through the situation.

On the ground, North Goa residents raised concern over escalating theft cases, with masked robbers striking various parts of the region. Citizens have demanded swift action from authorities to tackle the rising crime rates in the area.

Amidst the turmoil, social activists protested in Goa, demanding the release of a female activist who was arrested by the police. The incident sparked outrage, highlighting tensions between the authorities and the local community.

It's essential to note that during the runway damage period, flights were redirected to nearby airports, causing a ripple effect on the travel plans of many. Both IndiGo and SpiceJet issued advisories to manage the flight disruptions efficiently, ensuring passenger safety and convenience in the midst of the unexpected chaos.
