“Two flights from New Delhi landed in Ranchi today. Besides, one flight each from Bangalore and Hyderabad landed here,” said Airport Director Vinod Sharma. “All the passengers were screened at the airport. The guidelines issued by the Airport Authority of India (AAI) were followed religiously,” he added.
