If you are going to India from the UAE you need to be careful when you take pictures or record videos at the airport. The Indian government has made rules about what you can and cannot do at the airport.
These new rules are because a lot of people are making videos and taking pictures at the airport and putting them on media. The problem is that sometimes these videos and pictures can show things that are supposed to be secret like security things.
So now you are not allowed to take pictures or record videos in areas of the airport like where they check your bags or where the planes are parked. If you want to take pictures or record videos in these areas, you need to ask for permission. If you break these rules, you might get in trouble. You could have your pictures or videos deleted, or your camera or phone could be taken away. You might even have to pay a fine or be investigated.
If you break the rules a lot or do something bad, you might not be allowed to fly to India for a while. This could be for months or even a couple of years. The people in charge of the airports in India are very serious about these rules. They do not think it is a mistake when you break them; they think it is a serious offence.
You are still allowed to take pictures and record videos in some areas of the airport, like where you check in or where you eat. You need to follow the rules and listen to what the airport staff tell you. If you are a professional and you want to make a video or take pictures at the airport, you need to ask for permission. This is to make sure that you do not show anything that is supposed to be secret.
The Indian government made these rules because a lot of people are putting videos and pictures of the airport in the media, and sometimes these videos and pictures show things that they should not. So if you are going to India, make sure you pay attention to the signs at the airport and do what the staff tell you. Do not try to take pictures or record videos in areas that are marked as restricted. You might get in trouble.
