India And China May Resume Direct Flights In September, Full Details Inside
Last Updated: PM Modi's visit to China could mark a turning point in bilateral ties after years of tension. India and China are preparing to bring back direct flights as early as September. The announcement is expected around the time Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits China at the end of August for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Tianjin. Sources say the Indian government has asked airlines to be ready for quick deployment. IndiGo has already started preparations, while an official declaration could come during the summit. Why Did Flights Stop? Direct air services between the two countries came to a halt in early 2020 following the outbreak of Covid-19. Travellers have since been forced to connect via hubs like Hong Kong, Bangkok, or Singapore. As per Hindustan Times, ties soured further after the June 2020 Galwan Valley clashes in eastern Ladakh, which claimed the lives of 20 Indian soldiers and at least four Chinese troops. In response, India banned several Chinese apps, which Beijing called 'discriminatory." . Before the suspension, carriers like Air India, IndiGo, Air China, China Southern, and China Eastern ran over a dozen weekly direct flights connecting major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Kunming with New Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata. The two sides had already agreed in principle to restart flights in January, along with plans to revive the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra and boost exchanges between media and think tanks. PM Modi is set to visit China for the first time in seven years to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Tianjin on August 31 and September 1. China has welcomed the visit, calling it an opportunity for greater 'solidarity, coordination, and productiveness". A bilateral meeting between PM Modi and President Xi Jinping is also possible during the trip. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Union Cabinet approves Rs. 5,801 Crore Lucknow Metro Phase-1B; CM Yogi hails boost to jobs & More
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has welcomed the Union Cabinet's approval of Rs. 5,801 crore for Phase-1B of the Lucknow Metro Rail Project, calling it a transformative step for Uttar Pradesh's capital. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, the project aims to significantly ease traffic congestion, improve public transport, and open new avenues for employment, tourism, and investment. The 11.165 km Phase-1B stretch will feature 12 stations—seven underground and five elevated—linking densely populated areas of old Lucknow with the new city. Once operational, the metro network will expand to 34 km, providing seamless access to key commercial hubs such as Aminabad, Yahiyaganj, Pandeyganj, and Chowk. It will also connect major healthcare institutions like King George Medical University and tourist destinations, including Bada Imambara, Chota Imambara, Bhool Bhulaiya, Clock Tower, and Rumi Darwaza. 'This decision will take Lucknow to new heights by strengthening its economic, social, and business infrastructure,' CM Yogi said, expressing gratitude to PM Modi. 'The metro expansion will not only modernise the traffic system but also generate employment, stimulate economic activity, and give tourism a major push.' The Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Modi, approved the project to address urban challenges while promoting sustainable mobility. By reducing travel time, easing congestion, and cutting carbon emissions, Phase-1B represents a shift toward environmentally friendly transport solutions. Improved connectivity to the airport, railway station, and bus terminals will further enhance productivity, attract investments, and improve the quality of life for residents. Importantly, the project is designed to provide equitable access to all socio-economic groups, bridging transport gaps and integrating old and new Lucknow. As CM Yogi emphasised, the metro expansion aligns with the vision of transforming Uttar Pradesh into a leading state for development, innovation, and heritage tourism. This landmark approval not only strengthens Lucknow's infrastructure but also lays a foundation for its emergence as a world-class city.
