New Delhi: With airports perceived to be a major target of terrorists, the CISF has decided to install imported state-of-the-art explosive detection system at all such sensitive installations across the country to tighten the security mechanism.
The premier paramilitary force, which guards 54 airports including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata, will put the new system in place by the end of this year as part of its efforts to upgrade the overall security paraphernalia, CISF sources said on Tuesday.
Automatic Explosive Detection System and Explosive Tracer detection System would be installed at all major airports while the hand-held metal detectors presently used will be replaced by ultra-sensitive ones, they said.
