Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu announced that hoax bomb threats to airlines will be classified as a cognizable offense, with offenders placed on airlines' no-fly lists. The announcement follows a series of hoax threats disrupting flight operations across India. Naidu emphasized that new amendments to existing laws, including the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation Act, will be introduced. With over 75 threats in recent days, Naidu called the situation "sensitive" and stressed the importance of coordinated action with other ministries to address the issue.
