Indian Consumer Commissions Award Compensation in Phishing and Travel Service Cases

In Kerala, a travel agency was directed to pay over Rs 5 lakh to a 22-member group after failing to provide promised services during a Kashmir trip, forcing the group to walk 15 km to Vaishno Devi Temple without assistance.
