Mumbai: The government is in the process of establishing a dedicated aviation security force to better the security system put in place at Indian airports. The decision was based on recommendations by a team of experts from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) who were engaged by the government to carry out a detailed study of the existing security system at Indian airports and suggest measures to improve the same, said a release issued by the press information bureau.
``The ICAO study report, which has been accepted by the government, has suggested establishing a dedicated Aviation Security Force (ASF) under the command and control of the ministry of civil aviation which is supposed to be completely integrated with the aviation industry, in line with the practices across the world,'' it added.
