The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) was received on Friday after the bombing via e-mail, led to a rapid action by airport authorities and security agencies.
According to the police, the threatening report warned against “sleepers” and claimed that the “airport” would be focused on the explosion. In response, intensive security checks were immediately launched across the premises, although suspicious items have not yet been discovered.
Officials confirmed that while the e-mail did not specify the planting of any explosive device, all necessary measures were forced. “It was a general threat without a direct reference to the placement of bombs. We will remain vigilant and we increased security measures at the airport,” the clerk said when he asked if he was considered a fraud with a threat.
Olice began to register the case and the investigation continues to monitor the origin of the e-mail and assess its credibility.
Passengers were advised to work with improved security protocols as preventive measures.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the growing military tension between India and Pakistan, the Ministry of Civil Aviation announced a temporary closure of 24 airports in northern and western India, effective until 15 May. This measure follows significant escalation on the night of May 8, when approximately 300 to 400 Turkish manufactured drones were deployed in a coordinated attack on Indian soil.
The increased conflict stems from the recent Indian military event, the Sindoor Operations, which focused on terrorist camps across borders in retaliation for a deadly terrorist attack of Pahalgam last month, resulting in 26 victims.
AirPorts AFFECTED BY SUSPENSION Include Key Regional Hubs Such As Chandigarh, Srinagar, Amritsar, Ludhiana, Bhuntar, Kishangarh, Patila, Patila, Shimla, Kangra-Gagal, Bathinda, Jagalmerar, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Halwara, Pathankot, Jamm Lem, Mundra, Jamnagar, Hirasar, Porble, Keshod, Kandla and Bhuj.
The main international airports, such as Delhi and Mumbai, continue to work, but with stricter security measures. Passengers experience extended registration times and potential delays because the authorities remain on high readiness.
