Several airports in the north and north-western parts of the country, particularly near the border areas with Pakistan, have been closed until further notice after India launched military strikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) under ‘Operation Sindoor’.
The strikes were carried out in response to last month’s terror attack in Pahalgam, in which Pakistan-based terrorists killed 26 civilians, most of them tourists.
Flight services have been suspended at major airports including Dharamshala, Leh, Jammu, Srinagar, and Amritsar. Authorities have said that all incoming, outgoing, and connecting flights will be affected.
Air India announced that, in view of the prevailing situation, it has cancelled all flights to and from Jammu, Srinagar, Leh, Jodhpur, Amritsar, Bhuj, Jamnagar, Chandigarh, and Rajkot until noon today.
