Drone Activity Near Amritsar Airport Disrupts Flight Operations and Diverts Flights
Suspicious drone activity near Amritsar's Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport on Sunday night disrupted flight operations, causing three incoming flights to divert or return to their origins as a precaution. Security personnel spotted two to three drones around 9:30 pm, leading to a temporary halt in flights until about 10:30 pm. Passengers faced delays and limited official communication. This incident follows a similar drone sighting on September 6, which also affected multiple flights. Authorities are investigating the source amid heightened security near the India-Pakistan border.
