Amritsar Airport Suspends Operations, Diverts Seven Flights After Drone Sightings
On the night of September 7, multiple suspected drones were spotted near the runway at Amritsar's Sri Guru Ram Das Ji International Airport, prompting Air Traffic Control to suspend operations for about 90 minutes. Seven incoming flights, including domestic and international services, were diverted to Delhi and Chandigarh as a precaution. A Joint Action Committee assessed the situation before resuming normal operations around 11:15 pm. Police investigations later revealed the drones were used without permission to film a nearby sports event.
