Airspace Now Under Military Supervision

A senior official confirmed that the IAF is now handling everything — from air traffic control to fire safety at the airport. Srinagar Airport is now operating like a full military base. “The situation is sensitive, and full airspace control is necessary,” the official added.

High Alert in the Kashmir Valley

Experts say this move shows that India is preparing for any future conflict. Srinagar Airport is not just for passengers; it is also an important military base. With cross-border tensions rising, the Air Force is ensuring tight control over air security.

Passengers Left Waiting, No Clear Date for Flight Resumption

There is no update yet on when civilian flights will start again. Many passengers are confused and waiting for news. Meanwhile, the entire Kashmir region is on high alert, and security forces have increased their presence.

Aftermath of Night Missile Strikes

The missile attacks were carried out during the night of May 6 and 7. This has raised the military’s readiness level to almost combat mode. Troops are being moved, and security has been increased at key locations.

Calm Outside, Tension Inside

Although Srinagar city looks calm, people are worried about what might happen next. Everyone is watching closely for further developments.
