New Delhi — The Delhi Airport has issued a passenger advisory after a powerful explosion outside the Red Fort Metro Station on Monday evening killed at least 13 people and left several others injured. In response to the blast, authorities have temporarily closed the Red Fort for security reasons, while police forces remain on high alert across the national capital.
In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), Delhi Airport warned travellers that security screening procedures may take longer than usual due to heightened security measures in the city. Passengers have been urged to plan their journeys accordingly and arrive at the airport well in advance to avoid any last-minute delays or disruptions.
“Rest assured, all our teams and stakeholders are working in close coordination with security agencies to minimise inconvenience and ensure a safe and smooth travel experience for everyone,” the airport said.
Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the explosion, as security remains tight throughout New Delhi and neighbouring regions.
