Mumbai: With the Perimeter Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) still a month away from being operational at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA), Central Industry Security Force (CISF) officials posted along the perimeter had a major alarm when they caught a man trying to scale the perimeter wall twice on Tuesday evening. This intrusion is the first such attempt to breach the wall this year, according to CISF officials, who are on edge after receiving around 17 or 18 alert messages in December.
CISF personnel spotted a person trying to scale the perimeter wall while patrolling the area in rapid-response team vehicle around 6.30pm on Tuesday. The man was trying to breach the wall from the Gaondevi hutment area in Kurla and when QRT personnel ‘challenged’ him, he jumped out.
“Around seven minutes later, the man climbed the wall and despite being ‘challenged’ by us repeatedly, he jumped into the airport operational area by breaching the airport perimeter wall and PIDS fencing. He was nabbed by CISF officials but tried to run away again and was overpowered,” said an official from CISF.
