On the 91st Foundation Day of Indian Air Force (IAF), an air show is being organized by IAF at Sangam. For this, Bamrauli Air Station has been declared ‘No Flying Zone’. No one is allowed to fly drones within this perimeter and action will be taken against those found violating it. ADM City Madan Kumar said that if anyone is found doing so without prior permission, his goods will be confiscated and action will be taken as per law.
Air Marshal RGK Kapoor said that more than 100 aircraft including Rafale fighter jet will be part of this air show. He told that earlier our air show used to be held in Hindon (Ghaziabad), where only people from Delhi and its surroundings could see this air show. But this time we are organizing it in Prayagraj. Since the Sangam Sangam area is very large, a large number of people will be able to enjoy the air show here.
