While the VVIP culture has almost became a part of Indian society, seems like country's airport authorities have made a start to get a clean break from it.
According to a report published in Mail Today, Bureau of Civil Aviation Security has issued a slew of guidelines to end the system of entitlement.
According to the guidelines issued on February 26, no discrimination will be made of basis of individual's official capacity. The guidelines have been enforced in Delhi Airport to start with and will be extended gradually to other airports. It means, there will no separate queue during security checks for such ‘dignitaries’ and they will be required to stand in a common queue, irrespective of their class of travel.
Even in official documentation, words like VIP or VVIP will be replaced by special or high-profile. The guideline will include politicians, business class travellers among others. Even Ministers will have to formally request if they want to get special treatment from CISF. The guidelines have ordered the airport authority/agencies to streamline the screening of passengers at Terminal 1D and Terminal-3 of the Delhi Airport.
