Reports said that as a result, travellers could expect delays and a growing number of flight cancellations.

Airport operations are running relatively smoothly, with no immediate cancellations reported at major transportation hubs in Kerala.

Defence officials have declared that the public can anticipate the introduction of enhanced security measures at key locations, following federal directives.

The Indian Navy has stepped up its surveillance and operational readiness along the coast of Kerala, especially in Kochi, a bustling port city, and the state capital, Trivandrum.
