incompatible ground crew caused me to miss my flight

Website: Air India complaints

I am a canadian citizen, trying to board from delhi to amritsar (Return travel). Due to the unorganized procedures at the ticket counter everything was delayed and so much ruckus caused my flight to be missed and no empathy, courtesy or help was extended by any agent. I had to buy another airline ticket and that costed me 2 airfares for no reason. It was a very frustrated ordeal and i would like someone to acknowledge it and revert back asap....

I had to call air india and they told me to ask air canada for a flight,...
