CISF to take over Srinagar Airport security

Srinagar Airport security now with CISF

The Centre is all set to tweak security norms at sensitive Srinagar airport by continuing with Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and deploying Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). CISF will replace Jammu and Kashmir police while CRPF will be responsible for securing outer perimeter of the airport. Last year, Union home ministry had ordered CISF to take over the security at Srinagar airport. But after recent audit, ministry has decided to continue with the deployment of CRPF along with CISF as per reports. CISF is responsible for security at 61 major airports across the country including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. There have been numerous attempts in past to carry out attacks at the airbase, also known as Sheikh-ul-Alam airport.
