Meanwhile, operations at Delhi Airport remain unaffected, though authorities have advised passengers to expect delays due to heightened security protocols. In a public advisory, the airport urged travelers to check flight statuses with their airlines, arrive early, follow baggage rules, and avoid circulating unverified information online.
The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security has mandated enhanced screening measures, and officials have asked for full cooperation from passengers for smoother processing.
