The operator, Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), has said that recent incidents, including dog bites, have raised safety concerns, prompting immediate measures, stating that passenger safety remains "our highest priority."
"We are taking immediate and concrete measures to strengthen safety across the airport, while closely coordinating with the concerned authorities to implement a sustainable, long-term solution," DIAL said in a statement posted on X, along with CCTV footages of dog bite incidents.
