KJ Alphons confronts furious passenger over flight delay in Imphal

Imphal, Nov 22 (IBNS): Union Minister KJ Alphons on Tuesday confronted a furious passenger at Manipur's Imphal airport as her flight was delayed.

Dr Nirala Singh, a final-year medical student at the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences in Imphal, was trying to reach her hometown in Patna to attend her brother's funeral.

But her flight clashed with the arrival of President Ram Nath Kovind and as a result got delayed for two hours, media reports said.

In a mobile footage, Singh was seen screaming at the minister.

She even broke down in front of the minister.

"I am a doctor, not a politician. I have very important time... I had to go to Patna at 2.45... that was the scheduled time... I told my family also. The body will degrade. I know... I am a doctor... the body will degrade and it will smell. It is still at my home," she was heard saying in the video.

The minister was also seen calming her down.

Later speaking to media, Alphons said: "I understand her distress, you can't blame her. She vented her anger at me because she probably was looking for a compassionate face."
