32 Airports Reopen After India-Pakistan Conflict Closure

India's aviation regulator has announced the reopening of 32 airports in northern and northwestern regions, including Srinagar, Chandigarh, and Amritsar, following a ceasefire agreement with Pakistan amid heightened tensions. The Airports Authority of India (AAI) confirmed that these airports are now available for civil aircraft operations, advising travellers to check flight statuses with their airlines. The initial closure, affecting 24 airports, was extended due to airspace restrictions related to India's Operation Sindoor, which involved airstrikes on terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. This escalation followed the April 22 massacre of 26 civilians in Pahalgam, attributed to Pakistan-sponsored terrorists. Despite Pakistan's denial of involvement, Indian forces claimed to have killed around 100 terrorists during the operation. The situation prompted airspace closures on both sides, with Pakistan also restricting its airspace to civil airlines in response. sources

Ex Minister: Pakistanis Don't Trust Pakistan Anymore

India's recent military operation, dubbed Operation Sindoor, marks a significant shift in its response to cross-border aggression, according to senior BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar. Launched on May 7, the three-day campaign targeted terrorist infrastructure and military sites within Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, following a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir that claimed 26 lives. Chandrasekhar emphasized that Pakistan's military often resorts to terrorism to divert attention from its domestic issues, and he criticized its Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir, for attempting to frame the conflict in religious terms. The operation reportedly struck 11 Pakistani airfields and resulted in the deaths of 35-40 Pakistani military personnel and over 100 terrorists. India's advancements in military technology, he noted, have created a significant asymmetry with Pakistan, establishing a new "red line" in regional security dynamics. sources
