A day after Mail Today exposed a security breach at Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) that is guarding airports across the country initiated an inquiry into the matter.
A 16-year-old boy had scaled the airport boundary near Kapashera Crossing around 4.50am on Wednesday and took a half-hour-long jog along an active runway before he was spotted.
Notorious for false alarms, the perimeter intrusion detection system (PIDS) installed at the IGI airport reportedly didn't work when the boy sneaked in.
The CISF told Mail Today that the force would write to the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), asking it to rectify the errors in the PIDS.
"The CISF has ordered an inquiry into the incident. We will investigate how the lapse had occurred. The officers probing the incident will submit their report as soon as possible. If we find any lapse, strict action will be initiated against erring officials," Hemendra Singh, CISF spokesperson, told Mail Today.
