Direct flights from Indore to Ghaziabad begin today
Indore: Direct flight services from Indore's Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport to Ghaziabad's Hindon Airport are set to commence from Sunday. This new route will provide travellers with an additional, convenient option for reaching not only Ghaziabad but also Noida and New Delhi. With significant pressure on Delhi Airport often leading to longer check-in and check-out times, the Ghaziabad flight is expected to offer a more streamlined travel experience. Hindon Airport is strategically located just 25 to 30 km from both New Delhi and Noida. IndiGo Airlines will operate this direct service, which was announced and open for bookings approximately a month ago. The flight will depart from Ghaziabad in the afternoon, arrive in Indore, and then depart from Indore in the evening for its return journey. Hemendra Singh Jadon, president of Travel Agent Association of India (Madhya Pradesh), stated that the launch of the Ghaziabad flight will significantly benefit passengers travelling to New Delhi and Noida. These travellers will now be able to easily connect via Hindon Airport. This new flight comes as a welcome addition, especially after the recent suspension of one flight each to Jaipur, Ahmedabad, and Kolkata from Indore Airport.

Once completed, the number of flights from Indore is expected to increase further. As per the flight schedule, flight 6E 2558 will depart from Ghaziabad at 2:00 pm and arrive in Indore at 3:15 pm, while flight 6E 2559 will depart from Indore at 3:45 pm and arrive in Ghaziabad at 5:10 pm.

Meghalaya Murder Case: Passenger Slaps Accused At Indore Airport, Video Goes Viral
A dramatic moment was seen at Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport in Indore on Tuesday night when a passenger slapped one of the four accused in the sensational Raja Raghuvanshi murder case when they were escorted by Meghalaya Police. The scuffle, caught in a viral video, is a display of public anger over the sensational Meghalaya honeymoon murder. Incident At The Airport The face-off came when a 12-member Meghalaya Police squad entered the airport with the accused—Raj Kushwah, Vishal Chauhan, Akash Rajput, and Anand Kurmi—after obtaining their transit custody from a local court. A passenger, who was standing with his baggage, suddenly slapped one of the masked accused, venting his ire at the murder that has been an issue of national concern. The identity of the person who was slapped cannot be established as he wore masks, claims witnesses. Indore, Madhya Pradesh: At the Indore Airport, a passenger slapped one of the four accused in the Raja Raghuvanshi murder case, who were being escorted by Shillong Police and Indore Crime Branch for a flight to Shillong on transit remand — IANS (@ians_india) June 10, 2025 Indore's Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajesh Dandotia confirmed that the police team left for Shillong with the accused for further investigation. "The Meghalaya Police are taking care of the case, and we gave the required assistance," he informed the media. New Case Developments The Meghalaya Police said the prime accused and wife of the victim, Sonam Raghuvanshi, came to Indore following the murder on May 23, 2025. "Sonam rented an apartment at Dewas Naka from May 25 to 27," an official said, adding further information would be obtained from Meghalaya officials. Police also went to the home of accused Vishal Chauhan in Indore and confiscated the clothes he purportedly used for the crime. "These will be submitted to a forensic lab to test for blood stains," said Assistant Commissioner of Police Poonamchandra Yadav. Background Of The Murder Raja Raghuvanshi, a 29-year-old Indore-based transport business owner, was murdered on his honeymoon in Meghalaya's Sohra region on May 23, 2025. Meghalaya Police accused Sonam, 25, of masterminding the killing with her suspected lover, Raj Kushwah, 20, employing three contract killers—Chauhan, Rajput, and Kurmi. Raja was discovered deceased in Weisawdong Falls gorge on June 2 with two head wounds, according to the post-mortem. The case has incensed the public at large, with Raja's brother, Vipin, pointing out that Sonam had faked her surrender in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, on June 8. People on X express shock, with the going viral airport video fueling demands for justice. Ongoing Investigation The Meghalaya Special Investigation Team (SIT) is still investigating the conspiracy, with one suspect still on the run. The forensic examination of the clothes seized and Sonam's itinerary in Indore is likely to yield decisive evidence. While the accused are interrogated in Shillong, the country waits for more developments in this spine-chilling murder case.

Indore slips to fourth spot among best airports of India: ASQ survey
Indore: Indore's Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport has slipped to the fourth position among the top airports in India during the first quarter of 2025 (Jan to March). Indore airport was second in the ranking in the final quarter of previous year. Despite once holding the top spot, Indore airport struggled to improve its ranking in passenger amenities. With a score of 4.94, Trichy Airport secured the top position, followed by Goa in second and Kolkata in third place. Indore airport failed to meet expectations in passenger facilities during the first quarter of this year. Lower scores across several parameters led to its compromise at the fourth position in the national ranking of best airports, according to the recently released Airport Service Quality (ASQ) survey report. In the first ASQ survey report of the year, Goa, Kolkata, Indore, and Pune airports all received an identical score of 4.92. In such cases, the ranking is determined based on the Asia Pacific rankings. In the Asia Pacific region, Goa was ranked 56th, Kolkata 57th, Indore 58th, and Pune 59th, leading to Indore's fourth place in national ranking despite the equal score. This was the second consecutive quarter where Trichy Airport held the top rank. In 2024, Indore Airport's rankings were 12th in both the first and second quarters, improving to fourth in the third quarter and then second in the final quarter. The airport management stated that continuous improvements are being made to the facilities and the impact will be visible in the upcoming quarters. Indore airport secured the 10th rank in the annual survey for 2024, with a score of 4.92 out of 5. This ranking was influenced by its performance outside the top 10 in the initial two quarters. Subsequently, the airport enhanced its facilities, reaching the top 5 in the last two quarters of the year.
