In the travel advisory issued by SVPI Airport, passengers were urged to allocate additional time for travel-related formalities and mandatory security protocols.

Once again, Air India is under scrutiny for its subpar service, as it left the passengers stranded at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. The Kolkata-bound Air India flight from Delhi was delayed due to a technical snag with the aircraft.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation on Tuesday issued a show cause to Air India for inadequate compensation to provide appropriate protection to travellers in case of flight disruptions.
"On the basis of profiling, Delhi Customs at IGI Airport have seized gold bars weighing 5,198 gms valued at 2.81 crore brought by two Indian nationals from Bangkok. All two passengers were arrested under the Customs Act of 1962," said the customs officials.
