Haridevpur Chattra Sangha Club .near basushree bagan..Puja pandal work in progress... Club authorities do not bother about any accidents... @CESCLimited @abpanandatv @FirhadHakim @kmc_kolkata @MamataOfficial @Zee24Ghanta @Tv9_Bangla

Annually the local club, chhatro sangha club, Haridebpur sets up a pandal blocking our entrance. This year ma is on her deathbed. We need room to move a stretcher into the building. Can I appeal to the police? @KolkataPolice @MamataOfficial

@EmiratesSupport @Visa_IND Please check the messages and stop with the automated bullshit #emiratestakeresponsibility

We were told repeatedly that the flight was overbooked. I am claiming 27216 NOK as compensation for all our tickets, the visa application, the harassment, and the fact that my sick father could not meet his only grandchild before a serious heart surgery. @emirates @Visa_IND

[Moumita Sen @MitaNarrative]

@EmiratesSupport @Visa_IND I have sent you all our receipts and a detailed breakdown of the compensation amount I am claiming. Although I am not sure one can put a price on separating a mother from a child own bogus grounds or a sick person not being able to see their family.

[Moumita Sen @MitaNarrative]

We were told explicitly and repeatedly by Emirates staff that we CANNOT travel even with the original expired passport. Our family was split up. We could not use tickets worth 18296 NOK. I had to travel alone for a medical emergency. 2/5 @emirates @Visa_IND

[Moumita Sen @MitaNarrative]

@EmiratesSupport @Visa_IND I have already registered a formal complaint. Please check. booking reference: KK2CR6

[Moumita Sen @MitaNarrative]

At this time, we are unsure if the visa will be issued for the rescheduled flight tomorrow. Pt. 13 on the Indian immigration e-visa website shows clearly that a person can travel with both the new and old passport in such cases. 4/5 @emirates @Visa_IND

[Moumita Sen @MitaNarrative]

We spent 8456 NOK to rebook their tickets. We reapplied for the visa to realise that we did not need to reapply at all. It created a lot of confusion in their system because my child already had a valid visa. He could have travelled. @emirates @Visa_IND

[Moumita Sen @MitaNarrative]

Did Emirates just break up my family at the airport to make extra money on an overbooked plane?! My 2-year old child was denied entry on 15th June at Oslo airport by Emirates because his Indian tourist visa was issued on his older Norwegian passport. 1/5 @emirates @visa_Ind

@EmiratesSupport I have written the whole thing on DM. no response! 😫😩

[Moumita Sen @MitaNarrative]

@emirates did not pay @flydubai the money for 2 of us flying on the 18th! And now each is making us call the other for their technical error. After spending hundreds on hold on a UAE number and no solution... we are being asked to buy a new ticket last min!
