In the wake of the COVID19 lockdown, Indira Gandhi Airport has been shut down for all domestic and international commercial flights. On normal days, the airport handles more than 1,000 flight movements and around 100,000 passengers.
Empty Highways
With a ban on the movement of vehicles, the highways are completely empty during the lockdown. Inter-state transport, even for vehicles supplying essential goods, has been halted.
On Day 1 of the curfew, the busiest highway connecting Delhi and Mumbai was also deserted.
