Visakhapatnam: There is a need to leverage technology and increase manpower to improve safety in view of the increased security risks at airports, according to the AP Air Travellers Association (APATA).
The Union Home Ministry has noted that our airports are not equipped to handle major terror attacks in view of the grave threats posed by terrorists to international airports. APATA vice president O. Naresh Kumar noted in a statement that manpower should be increased and given specialised training for surveillance.
These personnel should be trained in Israel in counter-terror operations as our CRPF and CISF are not equipped to handle international terror activities. Every city and airport should have a special force with this training.
They should be provided the latest gadgets like nigh vision cameras and high-end scanners.
Facial recognition cameras should be installed at all airports and to enable instant online verification with the database of available criminals.
The APATA vice president suggested that every ticket sold should be having either the Aadhar card or passport number along with photo id proof.
This will enable verification of all tickets with the known database of criminals by the special police even before the arrival of the passenger at the airport.
