TV anchor and author Rocky Singh tweeted a photo showing a crowded security check at the T3 terminal at 5.30 am today. "Welcome to HELL," he said. "35 minutes to get into the airport - 25 minutes at a comparatively empty Vistara and now … the mother of all security lines… SECURITY !!! Abandon hope all ye who enter here."

The severe congestion has led the Ministry of Civil Aviation to announce a four-point plan to tackle it. (Image credit: @PCforinnovation/Twitter)

The plan includes reducing the number of flights at peak hours and installing more screening systems at the airport. (Image credit: @sudiepshri/Twitter)

The number of daily domestic passengers now has crossed even the pre-covid levels of about 4,07,000 per day. (Image credit: @sudiepshri/Twitter)
