The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has deployed Quick Reaction Teams (QRTs) and stepped up intensive patrolling in and around the airport premises.
As part of the heightened security protocol, rigorous checking of vehicles and passengers is being carried out at approach nakas leading to the terminal buildings. Authorities have also implemented compulsory 100 per cent secondary ladder point checking for all flights with effect, which will remain in force till January 30.

All concerned agencies are working in close coordination to ensure seamless operations while maintaining the highest level of security for passengers, aircraft, and airport infrastructure.
