00:08was some drone sighting over at the airfield.
00:14And this message, A.T.C. Amritsar, there was a Joint Action Committee, GAC, at the SOP, which we have
00:24activated JAC.
00:24A.T.C. Amritsar, there was a Joint Action Committee activated, and when the JAC was activated, they decided that
00:31the drone activity, the scheduled flights are still there, they may hinder the flight path of those aircrafts.
00:39So, this is why we closed the airspace.
00:43When the drones were there, we had to close the airspace.
00:47And in the meantime, the flights overhead were approximately 7 flights overhead.
00:54So, those 7 flights were holding for a few times.
00:58But, because it was very few, it was very few, it was very few.
01:01Holding the time, they decided to divert back.
01:05In 7 flights, there were 2 flights diverts to go to Chandigarh, and 5 flights were gone to Delhi.
01:13And the 2 flights were gone to Chandigarh, and the Air India flight, Malaysia flight, that went to Delhi.
