Stop the Atrocities at Trichy Airport Customs!

*Stop the Atrocities at Trichy Airport Customs!* It’s time we raise our voices against the unacceptable behavior and practices of customs officers at Trichy International Airport. Here’s what many of us are experiencing: 1. *Everyone Is Treated as a Smuggler:* From young children to elderly passengers, no one is spared the humiliation of being treated like a criminal. 2. *Ethics Thrown Out the Window:* Even if passengers carry items within the allowed limits, officers allegedly try to find faults to penalize them. Their focus seems to be on ripping people off rather than ensuring fair procedures. 3. *Disrespect for Religious Beliefs:* Passengers are being forced to remove personal ornaments, including sacred items like mangalsutras. This is a blatant disregard for religious sentiments and personal dignity. 4. *Discrimination Based on Profession:* Laborers and working-class passengers face relentless scrutiny, while those in high-paying jobs like IT or medicine are allowed to pass easily. This kind of profiling is discriminatory and unacceptable. 5. *Harassment of Vulnerable Groups:* Families with children and elderly passengers bear the brunt of these harsh and insensitive practices, making their travel experience miserable. 6. *Inefficient Use of Technology:* Despite having advanced scanning equipment, passengers are still subjected to invasive manual inspections, forcing them to remove personal items and endure unnecessary humiliation. *Why are we tolerating this? Why is there no accountability?* These practices are not just unethical but also violate basic human decency. Travelers deserve respect, fair treatment, and procedures that don’t target or discriminate. *Let’s demand action:* 1. Customs officials must be held accountable. 2. Stop manual inspections unless absolutely necessary. 3. Respect religious and cultural sentiments. 4. Treat every passenger equally, irrespective of their profession or appearance. Share this post, tag the relevant authorities, and ensure our voices reach the people who can bring about change. Together, we can make Trichy Airport a place where passengers are treated with dignity! *#TrichyAirport #CustomsHarassment #TravelRights #RespectPassengers*
