Nagpur: Due to expansion of air traffic at the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport, the city police has decided to put a special security system in place.
In the last five years, air traffic rose to 29 flights a day from just a handful. Around 2,000 passengers land and take off every day and the same number of vehicles enter the airport.
Cops have also decided to deploy commandos on the road from Hotel Pride to the parking area of the airport which has become a favourite place for young couples. "We want to stop any unlawful activity in the area," a senior cop told TOI.
Apart from closely monitoring take-offs and landings of planes, cops also plan to start special checkpoints on the two approach roadsto the airport. The Sonegaon police will soon initiate a special 'perimeter patrolling' in the airport area under the supervision of DCP Zone-I, Kailash Kanse. By 7pm, the area, considered a high-security zone, becomes a meeting point for couples and young college students.
DCP Kanse said that cops would also embark upon the arrangement of security at all the entry and exit points.
