New Delhi/ Feb,27: Airports in Amritsar, Jammu, Srinagar and Leh – close to the border with Pakistan – have been been shut for three months. The move comes after an Indian Air Force (IAF) chopper crashed in Jammu and Kashmir’s Budgam Wednesday morning. Two bodies have been found, said media reports in Delhi.
The crash took place in the backdrop of heavy shelling and firing from across the border on a day IAF fighter jets crossed the Line of Control and destroyed a vast terror camp within Pakistan in a pre-dawn strike.
