On October 22, 2024, the Indian aviation industry faced a major security scare, with over 70 flights receiving fresh bomb threats in a single day. This alarming figure adds to the ongoing series of threats, totaling around 120 such incidents in just the past seven days. The rise in threats has sparked widespread concern among passengers and authorities, leading to heightened security measures across airports in India.
These threats have primarily targeted domestic flights, causing disruptions, flight delays, and increased scrutiny of passengers and luggage. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued urgent advisories to airlines and airports, asking for enhanced security protocols to prevent any possible security breaches. The civil aviation ministry is working closely with security agencies to trace the sources of these bomb threats.
In response to these incidents, several flights were forced to make emergency landings, and passengers were evacuated as precautionary measures. Indian security agencies are leaving no stone unturned in tracking the culprits behind these threats, which have caused panic and chaos. The government has assured citizens that it is taking all necessary steps to ensure their safety.
