Flying lessons cannot happen from 7 a.m. on September 11 until 11 p.m. on September 13.

The restriction is a security measure for the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi.

Light aircraft, hang gliders, para gliders, para‑motors, model aircraft and drones must stay on the ground within 100–300 km of the capital.

The goal is to keep the event safe and running smoothly.

📖

The pause helps keep the sky clear while the big international meeting of five countries takes place in New Delhi.

The rule also stops tiny airplanes, gliders, and remote‑controlled drones from flying near the city.

It applies to schools in Uttar Pradesh and several nearby states.
