Airport to get 209 extra security personnel in 2012
An additional force of 209 personnel from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) will soon be deployed at the Pune airport.
The decision to increase the security force was taken based on a survey conducted about two years ago on the issue.
Deputy commandant S K Saraswat, CISF spokesperson, said, “At present, the strength of CISF personnel deployed for security at the Pune airport is 149. We will add 209 personnel to the force. The personnel will be brought in for additional infrastructure and the extended security hold area (SHA).”
PSRK Sudhakar, Pune airport director, said, “The additional personnel will join the force in batches in February. A new hangar and an administrative building is coming up at the airport, for which additional security will be required.”
“Proposals for additional strength are put up before a committee of CISF and the airport authority. They are then forwarded to the Ministry of Civil Aviation, from where they are sent to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The final nod comes from the MHA,” Saraswat said.
