In a significant move amid escalating tensions with Pakistan, the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) has ordered the temporary closure of 32 airports across India until May 14. This decision comes in the wake of growing security concerns along the India-Pakistan border.
Sources indicate that the step has been taken as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of civil aviation operations. The list of airports includes several located near sensitive border regions. Officials have emphasized that passenger safety and national security remain top priorities.
Further details regarding the affected airports and alternative travel arrangements are expected to be released soon by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and respective airport authorities.
This development comes as diplomatic and military tensions between India and Pakistan continue to rise, prompting heightened alertness in various strategic sectors.
