⌨The newspapers extensively report on India's decision to close its airspace to Pakistani aircraft until May 23, following the Pahalgam terror attack (Aaj Tak, ABP Live, Dainik Bhaskar, Dinamalar, Firstpost, India Today, Jagran, Mathrubhumi, NDTV, The Hindu, Times of India). This move comes after Pakistan had previously barred Indian carriers from using its airspace (The Hindu). Prime Minister Modi held multiple high-level security meetings at his residence (Aaj Tak, Dainik Bhaskar), prompting concerns in Pakistan about potential further Indian actions (Aaj Tak, Dinamalar). Congress leader Rahul Gandhi met with a victim's family and demanded "martyrs' status" for those killed in the April 22 attack (The Print).
