Both Airlines have expressed their regret for this inconvenience and urged the passengers to double check their flight timing and schedules before leaving for the airport.

That was after a slew of diplomatic measures by India, including suspension of visas and Indus water treaty, as the first set of retaliatory measures for the Pahalgam terror attack.

26 people were killed , including tourists in the attack on Pahalgam. It is worst terrorist attack after February 2019, when 40 CRPF, or Central Reserve Police Force, personnel were killed in J&K's Pulwama district.

So to put diplomatic pressure on Pakistan, India suspended all the visas and requested the Pakistani people who are here to return within one week. And they also cancelled the treaty of Indus Water.

On suspension of the treaty - under which Pak receives an estimated 80 per cent of its riverine water supply - Islamabad said any attempt to "usurp" its rights would br seen as "an act of war".

At the time of the attack PM Modi was in Saudi Arabia. He rushed back the next day and put the terrorists and their handlers on notice, warning them his administration will "identify and punish" all those who conspired against India.

What also raised eyebrows was the Prime Minister's plane side-stepping Pak airspace when it flew back from Riyadh early Wednesday.

The re-routing was seen as a clear sign, India's security agencies were aware of the threat from Pakistan and altered the flight path for the PM's safety.
