The Mumbai train blasts have at long last shaken the Ministry of Civil Aviation into some action. CISF, responsible for security at country's 54 important airports, has sent a detailed proposal for equipping airports with sophisticated security gadgets.
A team headed by CISF's DG SIS Ahmed toured Heathrow Airport in London recently to study the security gadgets installed there. "Theirs is a vastly different security scenario compared to ours. In India, we are suffering the brunt of terrorism and practices will have to be different here. But we feel the need to buttress the security with help of technology," said he.
Ahmed said that the Ministry of Civil Aviation has been apprised with the requirement for sophisticated equipment at the airports. "This is being taken up on a priority basis and the gadgets will be in place soon," said he.
