There is a video that is being widely shared online that claims Indians are using wheelchair services at airports to access priority services. Biocon founder Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw has reacted to the clip and shared her perspective on how the service is being misused and suggested a charge to differentiate genuine passengers from others.
The clip, originally shared on X (formerly Twitter) by a Chinese user, shows a long line of passengers seated in wheelchairs being assisted by airport staff.
“The departure lounge for US-India routes is filled with Indians in wheelchairs. Because disabled passengers enjoy priority boarding and full-service transportation, the proportion of disabled passengers on some routes is as high as 80 per cent," the user claimed.
