For an ordinary resident of Bokaro Steel City, this IndiGo crisis may look like a problem of big cities—Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru. But in reality, its impact reaches deep into towns like Bokaro as well.
Bokaro may not have a commercial airport today, but hundreds of families here depend on air travel for jobs, education, medical emergencies, and business. People travel to Ranchi or Kolkata to catch flights. When a major airline like IndiGo collapses operationally, it is not just metro passengers who suffer—Bokaro’s working professionals, students, migrant workers, and patients also get trapped in uncertainty.
Many families from Bokaro work in private companies, PSUs, and multinational firms where missing a single flight can mean job loss, salary cuts, missed interviews, or failed business deals. For parents saving for months to send children for studies outside the state, for patients traveling for treatment, and for workers returning home after long shifts—such sudden airline failures turn into emotional and financial disasters.
The painful irony is this:
Even after leaving Bokaro, traveling long distances to reach big airports, and paying high ticket prices, people are still forced to sit on the floor like helpless spectators of mismanagement.
For Bokaro residents, this is not just an airline failure—it is a reminder that systems meant to serve the public still collapse without warning, and when they do, common people suffer the most.
The tarmac image is not only from Delhi or Mumbai.
It represents every small city citizen whose hopes depend on systems they cannot control—but are forced to trust.
