- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every source for this story reports from India.
An Air India Express flight traveling from Dammam, Saudi Arabia, to Delhi made an emergency landing at Ahmedabad International Airport on Monday evening after a crew member discovered a piece of tissue paper with the word bomb written on it in a lavatory. All 32 passengers on board were safely deboarded at Terminal 2, where police began questioning them.
An Air India Express spokesperson stated that the aircraft was diverted as a precaution and in accordance with security protocols following a specific bomb threat. The company alerted the government appointed Bomb Threat Assessment Committee (BTAC) to initiate security procedures. Security agencies conducted a thorough search of the aircraft and found nothing suspicious.
The aircraft will be released for operations once all necessary security checks are completed. According to police, no case had been registered at the time of the initial reports.
