A video circulating online from Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport shows vendors shouting “Buy, buy, buy!” prompting criticism of push‑y sales methods and raising questions about immigration enforcement.
A short clip captured at Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi has gone viral on social media platforms. The footage shows a group of airport vendors loudly urging travelers to “Buy, buy, buy!” while displaying a range of merchandise near the departure lounge.
The aggressive sales approach sparked immediate backlash from netizens, who accused the vendors of exploiting passengers and creating a noisy environment. Commentators also linked the incident to broader concerns about how immigration checkpoints are being managed, suggesting that the presence of such sales activity near security zones could distract officials.
Airport authorities have acknowledged the video and said they are reviewing the incident. A spokesperson indicated that the airport management will assess compliance with existing vendor regulations and consider stricter monitoring to ensure that commercial activities do not interfere with passenger flow or immigration procedures.
The episode adds to a growing discourse on commercialisation of Indian airports, where increasing retail space is often balanced against the need for orderly passenger processing. Stakeholders are awaiting any official guidelines that may emerge from the review.
