GoAir — Cancellation without prior notice

Address:

Go Airlines (India) Ltd. 1st Floor, C-1, Wadia International Centre (WIC), Pandurang Budhkar Marg, Worli, Mumbai 400 025, India

I had booked on 28.01.2021 a GoAir flight from Delhi to Cochin scheduled to depart on 01.04.2021 and arrive on the same day with a travel time of approximately 3hrs.
A few days prior to my planned departure I recieved a call from GoAir informing that the flight has been cancelled and I have an option of rebooking or getting refunded. Since the ticket charges were now almost double of what I had paid, I opted for a rebooking and was rebooked on a connecting flight with a layover at Ahmedabad scheduled to depart from Delhi on 02.04.3021 with a travel time of almost 6hrs. Note that not only had my travel time increased but also my leave plans had to be changed on short notice.
Then 1 day prior to my new departure date, when I tried to web check in on 01.04.2021 I came to know that the flight I was rebooked on has also been cancelled without any prior notice. On the contrary, I had just recieved a mail 2 days ago on 28.03.2021 reminding of the departure time of the flight. When I called the customer care, I was informed that there flight has been cancelled and the passengers will be getting notified shortly even though the scheduled departure time was not even 24hrs later. I was again given the option of rebooking or getting refunded. But the only option available was a flight with a travel time of 10hrs and so I was forced to get a refund.
I had to then book a ticket in a different airline at twice the price.
I feel that I was not duly compensated here.
