The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has reportedly asked airport operators in Delhi and Punjab to stop issuing airport entry passes to visitors. This came followed a warning by Canada-based Khalistani outfit Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun to blow up an Air India flight on November 19. The date also coincides with the ICC Cricket World Cup final in India. In response, India has also requested Canada to bolster security measures for Air India flights.
