Tiruchi: More vantage spots at the airport here will soon come under closer watch with the proposed installation of a chain of surveillance cameras.
The move is aimed at enhancing security and surveillance at the airport which is witnessing a spurt in passenger and freight traffic movements.
With certain key areas at the airport already under camera-based monitoring mechanism, the authorities have decided to bring more key spots under enhanced surveillance by deployment of a string of cameras.
Sources told The Hindu that 65 additional cameras were proposed to be installed to cover vital spots such as the car parking area, city side, export cargo terminal and at the upcoming international courier terminal.
Now, the new terminal building and other vital areas in the old terminal building including the Air Traffic Services are covered with surveillance cameras to keep a tab on activities taking place at those places.
A proposal seeking installation of more cameras has been forwarded to the Airports Authority of India.
Guarded round-the-clock by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel in shifts, the Tiruchi airport has been categorised as “sensitive”.
