India has reopened 32 airports that were previously shut due to heightened military tensions with Pakistan, following a ceasefire agreement reached over the weekend.
The Airports Authority of India confirmed that these airports are now fully operational for civil aviation, signaling a step toward restoring normalcy. This development comes after Pakistan reopened its airspace on Saturday as part of the ceasefire terms. The ceasefire, brokered by the United States, ended several days of intense cross-border conflict that had escalated following a deadly attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
For the first time since hostilities intensified, no firing was reported overnight. Military officials from both nations are scheduled to assess the status of the ceasefire via a joint call. Despite mutual accusations of violations, the truce has been broadly welcomed by the international community as a significant step toward de-escalating regional tensions.
List of airports are: Adhampur, Ambala, Amritsar, Awantipur, Bathinda, Bhuj, Bikaner, Chandigarh, Halwara, Hindon, Jaisalmer, Jammu, Jamnagar, Jodhpur, Kandla, Kangra (Gaggal), Keshod, Kishangarh, Kullu Manali (Bhuntar), Leh, Ludhiana, Mundra, Naliya, Pathankot, Patiala, Porbandar, Rajkot (Hirasar), Sarsawa, Shimla, Srinagar, Thoise and Uttarlai.
