Private security to replace CISF personnel for airport non-core duties
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is set to replace the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel posted at non-core duties by private security personnel at 60 airports, it said in a release on Friday. The AAI said the step will reduce the security expenditure while the personnel could be deployed at other airports as well to strengthen the security.
Private security to replace CISF personnel at airports
Last month, the Central government allowed airports to deploy private security personnel for five non-core duties such as passenger queue management and baggage control among others. Earlier this month, following the abolishment of over 3,000 CISF posts from the Aviation Security Group (ASG), CISF personnel were deployed at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's (RSS) office in Delhi, the ideological fountainhead of the ruling BJP.
Personnel from DGR sponsored security agencies
The AAI press release said a total of 1,924 private security personnel will be deployed at 60 airports while 581 security personnel had been appointed from security agencies sponsored by the Directorate General Resettlement (DGR) for non-core posts at 45 airports. The personnel from DGR sponsored agencies will be deployed after receiving their aviation security training program (AVSEC).
