Calgarians waiting to reunite with family members are struggling as India travel ban extended
The federal government's transport minister, Omar Alghabra, announced the extended ban Monday on flights arriving from India. Suruchi Jaitley, her husband, Divesh, and their two children are one of several families in Calgary separated by the federal government’s ban on flights from India. (Submitted by Suruchi Jaitley )Jaitley is not alone in her frustrations. Sanjay Sawhney's son Umang Sawhney flew to New Delhi for a family wedding on April 1 and is still there waiting for the travel ban to be lifted. Sawhney says his son will be booked on the first flight available when the ban is lifted.
