After plans to have Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) manning the Juhu airport fell through, Mumbai police is likely to chip in. Issues over who will foot the bill for CISF personnel’s accommodation resulted in the plan being dropped.
Last week, officials of the Ministry of Civil Aviation met senior officials of Mumbai police to discuss the matter. City police officials also surveyed the airport, one of the oldest and busiest aerodromes in India, last Wednesday to assess the security requirements for the 385-acre premises.
“The initial discussions with the Mumbai Police have been positive. We haven’t finalised anything yet, but this may work out. We will get at least 35 personnel to man the airport from the Mumbai Police,” an official at the Juhu airport said.
