New Delhi After several delays, the project to have an electronic surveillance mechanism in place to secure the boundary of the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) has hit another roadblock.
The airport operator Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) recently requested the CISF to take over the 14-km stretch where the Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) has been installed. The latter, in its reply, has asked the airport operator to provide technical specifications so that the force can take over the system.
The high-security system has been installed along the entire 27.6-km length of the airport boundary wall, but it is functional only on a 14-km patch. Airport officials cite unavailability of power as the reason behind its non-operation on the remaining 13.6 km.
“The DIAL has fully installed PIDS,” the airport operator said in a statement. The system is meant to detect, assess, neutralise and track potential or actual breaches along the airport’s periphery.
CISF sources, however, said the system is still full of deficiencies, such as a high rate of false alarms.
