Hubli: If everything goes as planned, the security at the Hubli airport will be tightened in the next couple of months. The Hubli airport authority has decided to install 25 CCTV cameras in and around the airport area and also to increase the strength of security persons.
The work of developing the Hubli airport to international standard has been going on since few months and the first phase of the runway expansion work is under progress. ''Now, two flights are operated from Hubli airport to Bangalore and Mumbai and there is good response. Air traffic is good as all most all seats (72 seats in each flight) are full every day. But we aren't able to keep an eye on the vehicles which come and go frequently and we won't be able to check each person thoroughly in the absence of CCTVs and adequate security persons,'' said Hubli airport sources.
KM Basavaraju, director, Hubli Airport, told TOI that a meeting of the higher officers of the airport authority involving members from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security recently reviewed the security measures at the airport.
