New Delhi: All Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) security personnel who frisk passengers at airports will be provided personal protective equipment (PPE) suits once commercial flight operations resume in the country, a senior official said.
The force has procured about 500 pieces and is in the process of obtaining more.
Attempts are also being made to "improvise" raincoats with the help of medical experts so that security personnel deployed for other tasks in and around the terminal area can use them to prevent coronavirus.
"All our security personnel who frisk passengers at airports will wear PPE suits. We have about 500 pieces of them at present and more will be procured," CISF Special Director General (SDG) and head of airports security M A Ganapathy told PTI.
Other force officials present in the security hold area will have adequate number of personal masks, hand sanitisers and shoe covers, he said.
