New Delhi: The CISF has asked for the implementation of the counter-terrorism contingency plan (CTCP) at the earliest at sensitive airports across the country in view of intelligence agencies warning of possible attempts to carry out terror strikes or hijackings by Islamic State group, alQaida or Pak-based militant outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad.
Under the CTCP, CISF personnel guard the approach roads of airports to screen visitors before they arrive at the departure or arrival terminals. As of now, CTCP is in place only at Delhi and Mumbai airports. Sources said the CISF has prepared a CTCP for each hyper-sensitive airport and is awaiting the government's nod. According to the latest intelligence inputs, international terrorist groups and even Khalistani terrorists are making plans to target Indian airports. While asking for strengthening of security at airports, the agencies have cited the attacks at airports in Europe in the recent past.
