CISF suggests removal of boarding pass stamping at airports

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has reportedly suggested a pilot test at the Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru airports for flyers to not have to get their boarding passes stamped during the process of security check. According to a report published in the Times of India, CISF has written to the mentioned airports to quickly take note of the suggestion. The report suggests that the Hyderabad airport has already began work on the same.

CISF's Head of Airport Security, MA Ganapathy, on July 18 wrote to the CEOs of all three airports to stop the stamping of boarding passes of domestic flyers. The system is already available at the Hyderabad airport.

It is to be noted that the suggestion has been only for domestic flyers.

With this move, the CISF wants to eliminate the process of stamping boarding cards on a permanent basis. To do so, security personnel will frisk passengers at the pre-embarkation security check (PESC) area, which will also have HD CCTV cameras that will capture clear pictures of flyers.
