Air India responds to passenger complaints of noises from emergency door

Passengers on an Air India flight from Delhi to Hong Kong got a little nervous when they heard odd noises from the emergency door soon after takeoff.
The crew responded by covering it with a paper napkin and continued the flight.
Thankfully, everyone landed safely in Hong Kong without any trouble.

TL;DR

Air India assures passengers everything was under control

Air India explained that the noise was just from a decorative panel and not a real safety issue.
The plane passed all required checks before leaving Delhi, and more inspections in Hong Kong confirmed everything was up to standard.
The return flight had no problems, and Air India says passenger safety is always their top priority.
