This step has been taken on the basis of special information received by central intelligence agencies. According to BCAs, according to information received from intelligence sources, some terrorist organizations or anti-social elements can attack any airport in the country between September 22 and October 2, 2025. Sources also say that this danger is associated with the activities of Pakistani terrorist groups. For this reason, on August 4, BCAS alerted all the concerned agencies by issuing an advisory.

No one will be given admission to the airport premises without a valid identity card. CCTV and 24x7 Surveillance All CCTV cameras will be constantly monitored, and it will be ensured that they are working properly. The control room will be monitored at all times so that any suspicious activity can be caught immediately.

Any suspicious information will be shared immediately so that quick action can be taken. Enhanced Passenger Screening Passengers and their belongings will be more strictly investigated. Special attention will be paid to suspicious objects or individuals. Is this the first time such an alert has been issued? No, the security of airports has been tightened in view of terrorist threats many times before. However, this time intelligence information is particularly clear, and it also has a deadline (22 September to 2 October), causing security preparations to be taken even more seriously. What is the advice for common citizens? BCAS has appealed to passengers that they: Reach the airport ahead of time, as security checks may take longer. Immediately inform the authorities of any suspicious item or person. Always keep your identity card (ID proof). Given such danger, the government and security agencies are fully conscious, but the vigilance of the general public is also very important. If everyone takes precautions, anything untoward can be stopped.
