Suspense crime, Digital Desk : The tensions and the lockdowns caused at the borders of India and Pakistan on Friday compelled the cancellation of 138 flights to and from Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport. This led to critical obstructions in aerial travel for the region.
What was the significant reason behind the claimed cancellation of flights?
The alleged reason follows the closure of borders and cancellation of flights Sindoor. This came to existence as a result of terrorist attacks directed towards Indian civilians and the Indian counter-attacks on the Pahalgam incident whose toll reached 26 last month. The closure was declared after the Indian military’s surgical approach of destabilizing conflict zones in Pakistan and their acquired territories.
