“In the aftermath of the incident in Pahalgam, there is an unexpected demand from tourists seeking to return to their homes,” reads the advisory by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).

“The airlines are also requested to consider waiving cancellation and rescheduling fees and provide all necessary assistance to tourists facing unexpected circumstances and challenges during this difficult time,” it added.

Meanwhile, according to an official statement, Union Minister for Civil Aviation Ram Mohan Naidu spoke to the Home Minister Amit Shah who is presently in the Valley. The Minister is monitoring the situation round the clock, working in close coordination with relevant authorities, it said.
