Kolkata Air Traffic Control Alerted to GPS Interference After Delhi, Mumbai

Imagine airplanes need a special GPS signal to know where they are, like a map app on your phone.

Someone is sending fake GPS signals, which is like messing with the map app.

This has been happening in India.

First, it happened near Delhi, then Mumbai, and now near Kolkata.

Air traffic controllers and pilots have been warned about this fake GPS signal.

The government is looking into who is doing this.

To make sure everyone is safe, the aviation police are asking pilots and controllers to report any fake GPS signals right away.

This is to prevent problems with flights, like the big disruption that happened in Delhi.
