After the ceasefire between India and Pakistan, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) on Monday announced that civilian flight operations will resume as usual at 32 airports.
The 32 airports were shut down last week temporarily amid the India-Pakistan tensions. The resumed operations of all these airports will make sure that the lives of people living in those areas and trades will get back to normal as the situation on the border region eases.
Considering that the security of civilians is the government's top priority, security measures have surely been enhanced to a greater extent. All the 32 airports in northern and western parts of the country which are set to be resumed from Monday will have a stern security check before boarding the flight.
Taking to social media, US President Donald Trump said that there has been an agreement on a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. He said, "It was time to stop the current aggression that could have led to the death and destruction of so many and so much."
A few hours after Donald Trump's post on X, the Indian authorities did a press briefing to announce the ceasefire amid the ongoing India-Pakistan tensions.
