Kolkata's Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport on Monday issued new guidelines for passengers arriving in the states and anounces that RT-PCR report conducted within 72hrs of flight departure mandatory for unvaccinated travellers arriving to Kolkata starting from Nov 01.

#TravelAlert: Passengers to kindly note as per guidelines of State Govt, all inbound flight passengers to West Bengal shall have to be either fully (doubly) vaccinated or furnish an RT-PCR negative report for a test conducted within 72hrs of such flight departure. (1/2)
