New Delhi: The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), the country's civil aviation security regulator, needs to have six times more personnel than what it currently deploys across all airports in India.
The civil aviation ministry has made a representation to the government seeking an augmentation of BCAS personnel deployed at airports from the current strength of 200 to around 1,200 people.
"We have sent a representation to the government on two counts. One was on the formation of a civil aviation force and the other was on strengthening the BCAS by around 1,200 people. The strengthening of BCAS is also required simultaneously, as the proposed force will report to them," a senior official said. The projections on shortfall in BCAS had been made by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
