Tighter security for Biju Patnaik International Airport

Bhubaneswar:  To augment security at Biju Patnaik International Airport, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has decided to go for tactical deployments besides installing video analytic system.

Talking to TOI here on Friday, additional director general (airport sector) O P Singh said a recent survey has indicated that Bhubaneswar was among the 18 sensitive airports in the country. "We will have an unobtrusive (hidden) deployment of CISF personnel at the Bhubaneswar airport," said Singh.

He said there would be "tactical profiling" of passengers' behaviour to enhance detection capability. "The CISF personnel will soon be trained in behavioural detection. The training will help CISF men easily detect suspicious movement among passengers," said the ADG said, without divulging the details.
He said more CISF personnel would be recruited in future after the international terminal building of the airport becomes fully functional. "There would be more personnel in our Quick Reaction Team (QRT)," he said.
