Amritsar Airport Suspends Operations After Suspected Drone Sightings, Seven Flights Diverted
Operations at Amritsar's Sri Guru Ram Das Ji International Airport were suspended for about 90 minutes on the night of September 7 after two to four suspected drones were spotted near the runway and operational area. This prompted Air Traffic Control to issue an alert and divert seven incoming flights to Delhi and Chandigarh as a precaution. Security agencies, including the police and central forces, were placed on high alert. The airport resumed normal operations after the situation was declared safe, and police investigations into the incident are ongoing.
