CCTVs to be installed at Patna airport

Patna: City's Jayaprakash Narayan International Airport is in for a comprehensive security makeover with the Airport Authorities of India (AAI) paving the way for installation of close-circuit television (CCTV) cameras at the airport.
"We had made a request to the AAI for the installation of CCTV cameras in order to tighten security arrangements. The regulatory body has given its clearance and sanctioned adequate fund for the same. Final installation would be possibly made in March 2011," Patna airport director Arvind Dubey said.
Installation of CCTV cameras is a costly affair. Cameras are installed only after AAI gives clearance. However, Dubey refused to divulge details in this regard.
Apart from making substantial headway in getting approval for maintaining tight surveillance through CCTV cameras, the airport management has also improved other security aspects at the airport to ensure maximum security.
"We have improved lighting around the perimeter wall to ensure effective patrolling and better surveillance around the airport. Now our personnel are maintaining vigilance and improved security arrangements," a senior airport official said.
