New Delhi: The new German-made full-body scanners being tested at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport are providing better results than the previous scanners that have been tested in the past, CISF officials said. The testing process, which began last year, is expected to continue in the next two months, with officials stating that any improvements required will be made to fine tune the machine.
The airport operator — Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL) — will meanwhile be responsible for installing these full-body scanners and officials said the process to start installation will begin soon.
“Based on the specifications provided by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), the new German-made full-body scanner is providing better results than those that have been tested in the past. The next few months will only be able to provide us more data and allow any flaws to be fine-tuned. Information on the machine has already been provided to DIAL, who in the end is responsible for installation at the airport,” said Hemendra Singh, assistant inspector general (AIG), PRO, CISF.
DIAL said the process to identify the requirement of body scanners was complete, while the installation process will begin soon. “A total of 69 full-body scanners will be installed at IGI airport. These body scanners use millimetre wave technology, which is non-intrusive in nature, and takes care of the privacy norms and conforms to all BCAS specifications,” said a DIAL spokesperson.
