Ahmedabad: Rajya Sabha MP, Parimal Nathwani has demanded better security for air passengers' baggage and has also sought strengthening of surveillance at airports.
Nathwani raised series of questions in the Parliament about the plight of air travellers, seeking better security to prevent pilferage of baggage on domestic and international airports.
According to the ministry of overseas Indian affairs and civil aviation, 15 instances involving complaints about pilferage and tampering of passengers' baggage were received every month in the last one year. He said that many passengers were wary about the security of luggage.
"These instances are happening in spite of installation of CCTV camera system and monitoring by CISF and airline staff at airports," he said.
He alleged that many airlines handled the luggage in negligent manner. He asked the airport authorities and airlines to improve working of the ground staff posted at airports.
