Delhi Police and budget carrier IndiGo in January 2017 launched ‘Akhiri Ahuti’ a humanitarian initiative under which the bodies of the North-east residents who die in Delhi will be carried to their homes.
●    Under the initiative, the Gurugram (Gurgaon) based airline will ferry the bodies to their homes, without levying any charge. 
●    The service would be available only on the recommendation of the Delhi police.
●    The initiative was ideated by Robin Hibu, a joint commissioner of Delhi police and the nodal officer for Northeast people after he faced several incidents in which people from the North-eastern states were cremated or buried in Delhi in absence of their family or friends.
●    Financial constraints of the relatives of the deceased didn’t allow them to take back the body or come to Delhi and cremate the body.
●    At present, Indigo flies to five airports in North-East India from Delhi and they are Dibrugarh Chabwa, Dimapur, Guwahati, Imphal Municipal airport and Agartala.
