Mumbai-based low-cost airline GoAir on Wednesday reversed its decision to suspend all flights to Mizoram, official sources said.

A press release issued by the state information and public relations department on Wednesday said the airline had withdrawn its decision and decided to continue with the flight service following numerous public appeals.

The airline will continue its operation on the Calcutta-Guwahati-Aizawl sector, the release said.

On Tuesday, GoAir had announced that it had suspended all flights to Mizoram from Thursday till April 15 in the wake of coronavirus pandemic. The airline had also postponed direct flight between Aizawl and Delhi, which was scheduled for March 29.

State principal consultant for civil aviation, Wing Commander J. Lalhmingliana told The Telegraph that GoAir had backtracked from its earlier decision due to pressure from public who complained that the abrupt suspension would create inconvenience as they had already booked tickets.

Meanwhile, the state election commission has put on hold the ongoing summary revision of electoral rolls in view of village council and local council polls which are likely to be held in April.

The state-run Zoological Park and Science Centre have also been closed till March 31.

The meeting of state-level task force on mitigation of coronavirus also decided to ban public interviews at all ministers’ offices during this month until further order.

The Dhubri district administration in lower Assam on Wednesday directed closure of Aadhaar enrolment centres till March 29 as a preventive measure against coronavirus.
