However, there are doubts about the video’s authenticity. Some media outlets reported that the footage appears to be from 2024. DNA India cannot verify the authenticity of the video.
Despite the panic caused by the video, there have been no major disruptions at the airport in the last 12 hours. No local media has reported any serious incidents, and according to several social media users, the airport is operating normally.
Authorities have not confirmed any major fire incidents so far. It remains unclear whether the reports of a fire were about a new event or simply old news being reshared.
