The incident comes a day after nearly 17 schools in Delhi received bomb threat emails. The messages contained disturbing content and claimed, “Delhi will become Khalistan and bomb blasts will happen at 1:11 pm in schools.” All threats were later declared hoaxes after police searches.
The email also warned of a blast inside Parliament of India at 2:11 pm, leading to heightened security and coordination among multiple agencies.

The Delhi Fire Services said the threat emails were sent to several schools, including Delhi Tamil Education Association (Pusa Road), Kendriya Vidyalaya (Gole Market), Happy Public School (Daryaganj), Rabea Public School (Ballimaran) and CL Bhalla DAV School (Jhandewalan). Police said two more schools - Sardar Patel Vidyalaya (Lodhi Estate) and British School (Chanakyapuri) - also received similar emails

Over 50 Flights Cancelled at Bengaluru Airport After US-Israel Strikes on Iran, What Passengers Should Know​

Bengaluru: Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport cancelled 50 flights on Sunday in the wake of the US-Israelstrikes on Iran. The cancellations affected both arrivals and departures, disrupting hundreds of passengers travelling to and from key Gulf destinations.
Of the 50 flights cancelled, 22 were arrivals and 28 were departures. The figures were recorded as of 6 pm on Sunday. Flights operating on routes to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam were among the most affected. These routes together account for a significant share of Bengaluru airport's international traffic.

The disruptions started late Saturday evening after Iran and Israel shut their airspace. The disruption continued through the night and into Sunday with hundreds of passengers stranded at the airport. Airport officials said that despite the cancellations on Gulf routes, overall operations at the airport remained normal through the day, according to Times of India report.

Among airlines, IndiGo recorded the highest number of cancellations. Air India Express, Emirates, and Etihad also saw a considerable number of flights cancelled. On Saturday, UAE routes had accounted for a large portion of the disruptions before the cancellations spread to other Gulf destinations on Sunday.

Not just Bengaluru, but Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Hyderabad airport faced disruption due to ongoing conflict with Iran going all out and pounding missile on neighboring countries targeting US assets.
To manage the situation on the ground, the airport set up a dedicated passenger help desk at the T2 kerbside. The desk was set up to assist travellers whose flights had been cancelled and who needed information on rebooking or alternative arrangements.

Airport officials did not give a timeline on when flight operations on these routes would return to normal. The cancellations are linked directly to the security situation in West Asia, which has been deteriorating in recent days.
Shia Muslims Hold Condolence Meeting and March in Bengaluru
Separately, hundreds of Shia Muslims gathered in Richmond Town on Sunday for a condolence meeting and solidarity march. The gathering was held following the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a US-Israel strike.

Those present carried photographs of Khamenei and raised slogans against Israel and the United States. The gathering included men, women, and children.
The march later moved to the Shia cemetery in Richmond Town, where prayers were offered and tributes were paid to Khamenei.

'Air India Crash Probe Still Underway,' Centre Tells Parliament​

New Delhi:
The government on Thursday said that the investigation into the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad in June is still in progress, with a final report yet to be released.

The Minister of State for Civil Aviation, Murlidhar Mohol, stated that the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is conducting the inquiry under the Aircraft (Investigation of Accidents and Incidents) Rules, 2025.

The update came in response to an unstarred question in parliament raised by MP Shafi Parambil regarding the status and findings of the probe.

A total of 260 people, including 241 passengers and crew members, died when a London Gatwick-bound Air India Boeing 787-8 aircraft crashed soon after take-off from Ahmedabad on June 12. Only one passenger survived. The plane was operating the flight AI171.

While the preliminary report was published on July 12, it contains information based on evidence gathered at that stage. The minister clarified that investigators are still examining all possible causes of the crash. The final report will be released upon completion of a comprehensive assessment, Mohol said.

On whether the exact reason behind the crash has been identified, the government reiterated that conclusions have not yet been drawn and the inquiry continues to explore all angles.

Responding to concerns about preventive measures, the minister highlighted that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has a "robust mechanism" to bolster aviation safety. This includes systematic safety oversight, routine and special audits, spot checks, and enforcement actions for non-compliance.

The DGCA also publishes an Annual Surveillance Plan (ASP), under which various technical directorates carry out regular inspections. Operators are required to comply with corrective actions, which are verified in subsequent audits. In cases of rule violations, penalties are imposed.

Additionally, the DGCA issued a circular mandating a comprehensive special audit aimed at strengthening the aviation ecosystem and enhancing overall safety architecture.

While the final findings on the Air India Flight 171 crash are awaited, the government assured Parliament that continuous efforts are underway to tighten safety norms and prevent similar incidents in the future.

'Lost Passport, Boarding Pass': Hyderabad Man Stranded At Dubai Airport For Over 36 Hours - What Happened​

A 24-year-old Hyderabad resident was stranded at Dubai airport for over 36 hours after his passport was allegedly stolen during his journey, which left him in trouble as he was unable to clear immigration and return to his home, according to a TOI report.
The man, Aamer Khan, travelled to Dubai on a two-month visit visa in search of employment. He landed at Dubai Airport on Monday morning.


His family said that the man's passport, along with his boarding pass and educational documents, were kept in a bag that he carried during the flight.


Aijaz Khan, the man's father, told TOI, "He assumed the passport was with him and fell asleep mid-flight. It was only when he reached the immigration counter that he realised it was missing."

Aamer quickly alerted airport authorities and lodged a complaint with the officials. After the incident, he went to the airport multiple times to check at their lost and found department. However, he did not get anything from there.
"We contacted the Indian Embassy in Dubai and also reported the issue on the MADAD platform. They assured us that the matter would be looked into. Later, we received a message saying temporary travel documents would be issued to enable his return to Hyderabad," his father told TOI.
He further stressed that there has been no follow-up since that day, and their son has been stranded at the airport.

Spokesman of Majlis Bachao Tehreek Amjed Ullah Khan also took to X, urging External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to check with the Consulate General of India, Dubai, and help the man return to India.
"Dr. S. Jaishankar Sir, one Amer Khan, resident of Hyderabad, Telangana, traveling from Hyderabad to Dubai via EK0525, lost his Indian Passport while traveling (Passport No: U8195209) and has been stranded at Dubai Airport. Kindly ask @cgidubai to contact him on WhatsApp +91 8977611069 and help him. His father Aijaz Khan can be contacted on M: +91 98851 37941," he wrote on X.

This action follows a thorough scrutiny of the airline’s records.


The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued a show cause notice to IndiGo Airlines for allegedly using “non-qualified simulators” to train approximately 1,700 pilots, according to official sources.
This action follows a thorough scrutiny of the airline’s records.
According to reports, the DGCA found that Category C (critical) airfield training for around 1,700 pilots, including pilots-in-command and first officers, was conducted using non-qualified simulators.

“It has been found that Category C (critical) airfield training for approximately 1,700 flight crew members (pilots-in-command and first officers) was conducted using non-qualified simulators,” the notice stated.


“It has been observed that you have failed to ensure the use of appropriately qualified simulators for training related to Category III (critical) airports,” the notice further stated.
Reports indicate that the simulators were unqualified for operations at airports including Calicut, Leh, and Kathmandu.

IndiGo has acknowledged receipt of the notice and stated that it is reviewing it.
