[Srinagar, Delhi]Srinagar+Jammu+Leh+Amritsar+Chandigarh Airports Closed for Civilian Flights
This closure is announced just after an IAF jet crashed in Kashmir’s Budgam district
The move to close the five airports comes amid escalation of tension between India and Pakistan after IAF carried out strikes on terror bases in Pakistan.
The flare up in the cross-LoC shelling, which was initiated by Pakistani troops in early hours of Wednesday, has also resulted in security forces and other establishments being put on a heightened alert.
