Hyderabad: A plane hijack attempt foiled by Bangladeshi police a few days ago in Chittagong Airport has prompted the Intelligence Bureau (IB) to continue to maintain red-alert at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) along with other major airports till Parliament elections.
Another reason for additional vigilance is a credible intelligence, received by authorities here, that Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) was attempting another suicide terror attack in various parts of the country.
“There is a general alert about possible hijacking of a plane in the country. As a precautionary measure, we are continuing the alert,” a senior official said.
The alert was issued last week asking security personnel to enhance security at the airports. The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has already banned entry of visitors to RGIA and other major airports from March 1. BCAS asked airport officials not to issue entry passes to visitors and the ban will continue till further orders.
On its part, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which is manning the security of the airport, has fully activated anti-terror mechanism and counter terrorist plan at the airports, said a CISF senior official from New Delhi.
