New Delhi: Alarmed by a spate of drug couriers and passengers being intercepted at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) here, anti-narcotics sleuths have decided to keep a strict vigil on the facility with the help of CISF security personnel.
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), an organisation under the Union Home Ministry, will soon enter into an official Memorandum of Understanding with the CISF to detect and notify all big or small cases of narcotics at both the domestic and international terminals of the Delhi airport.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) is the mandated security agency of the IGIA and its personnel are deployed across the facility including the designated exit and entry points.
"The sheer volume of drugs carried by the suspected passengers has alerted the agencies and hence both NCB and CISF have come together for a stricter vigil on these couriers and to check the movement of contraband from IGIA," a senior official said.
