Covid tests should not be free for air travellers. If they can afford airfare and transportation, they can surely bear the cost of the tests. more

The number of mindless freebies should be reduced instead as it is not the Govt. but the tax payers who carry the burden of all such misdeeds of politicians. The Airport Authorities should negotiate better testing cost as the number of passengers is very high as is being done by railways to cover every passenger with accidental insurance @ Rs. 0.35 per ticket. Since air travellers are not a big organized vote bank, I don't think any political party will take the initiative of offering free covid test. more
