[Resolved]  Indigo Airlines — sudden change of flight timings

We had booked our flight from vishakhapatnam to ahmedabad.
Flight no. 6e809/719 on 12th january, 2019
Pnr lfs47g.
Originally the 6e719 was scheduled at 15 : 35,
But it was rescheduled at 20: 35.
The sudden change in flight timing created lots of difficulties for us, we were a group of senior citizens from vadodara. We reached ahmedabad very late and had to hire taxis to reach vadodara. Extra five hour stay at the airport was tremendously tiresome for all o[censored]s.
What were the reasons for this change? The message from indigo airline stated that it was due to operational reasons. What exactly were these operational reasons?
In addition, the temperature in the plane was much too high, inspite of pointing out this to staff, it was not corrected.
The staff also could not provide necessary food that was requested.
Poor service, very poor time management.
