New Delhi: Civil Aviation Ministry has asked CISF, which guards country’s civil airports, not to raise “operational issues” regarding the sensitive Delhi airport directly with operator DIAL, but route them through the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS).
BCAS, which functions under the Ministry, is mandated to lay down standards and measures in respect of security of civil flights at international and domestic airports in India.
Officials said at a recent meeting to review some issues raised by a parliamentary panel after its visit to Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), the Ministry had suggested that all issues relating to operational requirements of Central Industrial Security Force should be routed through BCAS and not taken up directly with the Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL).
The officials said there have been instances in the past when the force and the airport operators could not get on the same page on issues like grant of equipments to the security personnel and the new arrangement will put the onus on BCAS to decide either ways in a specified time limit.
