Kannur: As Kannur International Airport (Kial) gets ready for commissioning with its finishing touches in the final stage, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) will take charge of the security within the next few days.
As of now, the tentative plan is to hand over the security to CISF on October 17 after the induction ceremony, but a formal announcement has not been made, said Kial officials, adding that a batch of CISF personnel have reached the spot and more are expected in the coming days.
Once CISF takes over, entry at the airport would be restricted to authorized personnel only. Though the airport was opened to the public for a few days, it has ended and Kial officials had a tough time managing the crowd. Also, there was some row after a youth posted selfies near the fire engine inside the airport. This was considered a security breach. Though different aircraft had completed trial landings and the calibration of instrument landing system (ILS) and DVOR (doppler very high frequency omnidirectional range) radar were completed, a few more trials are expected in coming days.
