Tiruchi: The security apparatus at the Tiruchi International Airport has strengthened with the installation of bullet-proof podiums at the terminal building.
The portable podiums have been put up for the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel guarding the airport to effectively counter any armed attacks from outside.
Four bullet-proof podiums have been installed — with two fortified cabins placed at the entry points of the departure and arrival sides and the other two deployed inside the terminal building.
The nearly six-foot high podiums with bullet proof glass have been made thick metal through which bullets cannot pierce. Each podium can house one CISF armed personnel.
Every podium has been provided with three minor openings for the CISF armed personnel to position his weapon directed towards the “target” in kneeling position. The security personnel could give an effective counter by remaining behind the podium without getting hit by a bullet.
