Thinking of filming a travel vlog, Instagram reel or YouTube short at the airport? You may want to think twice. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has introduced strict rules against unauthorised photography and videography in sensitive airport areas across India. The move comes amid a growing trend of passengers creating social media content while travelling, sometimes unintentionally capturing security-related information.
Under the new guidelines, travellers who break the rules could face penalties, confiscation of devices and, in serious cases, even a ban on flying.
