Amid India-Pakistan tension, 24 airports in Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Himachal Pradesh have been temporarily closed for civilian flights. These areas are near the India-Pakistan border or are strategically sensitive. The closure is aimed at ensuring security from air strikes or drone attacks, as Pakistan carried out drone attacks in areas like Pathankot, Jalandhar, and Jaisalmer.

In addition, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has instructed all airports and airlines to increase security measures.

BCAS issued security instructions

Under the instructions of BCAS, secondary ladder point checking of all passengers will be mandatory, and entry of visitors to terminal buildings is prohibited. Air marshals will be deployed at airports. Air India said on social media that domestic passengers will now have to reach the airport three hours in advance, and check-in will close 75 minutes in advance. This step has been taken due to the possibility of retaliatory actions by Pakistan after Operation Sindoor. Passengers have been asked to check the flight status.

India foiled Pakistan's attacks.

Pakistan tried to carry out drone attacks in India on Thursday night. But the Indian Army gave a befitting reply to the attacks. After this, there was a blackout from Jammu to Rajasthan. With this, the match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals being played in Dharamsala was stopped midway, and after some time, it was decided to cancel it. At the same time, the Indian Air Defense Forces have shot down a jet of Pakistani Air Force jet in the Pathankot sector and two Pakistani drones in the Naushera sector.
