New Delhi: The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has told Delhi Police that many deserted areas around the city’s international airport are a security threat and has sought police patrols.
In a letter, BCAS says the unoccupied areas in Indira Gandhi International Airport vicinity are potentially dangerous for the runways and a hub of illegal activities. It has asked police to map the areas and identify locations where police presence may be increased.
The police in turn have written to the Delhi International Airport (DIAL) in this regard.
Airport sources said a survey was conducted by Delhi Police earlier this month to identify deserted locations. It revealed five such locations: one near the Centaur hotel, the area near the automated mail sorting centre, the ARC Hangar, the stretch near Mahipalpur leading to the airport and the stretch between the Centaur hotel and the road leading to Mahipalpur. These areas have no security presence.
