New Delhi: Almost two weeks after the Karachi airport attack left 29
dead in a 13-hour-long siege, the Delhi airport police, along with the
South and South-west district police, have sent a proposal for deploying
snipers in the funnel area of the Indira Gandhi International Airport
(IGIA) at Vasant Kunj and Dwarka. The proposal comes after an internal
meeting between officials of various agencies, including the IB, RAW and
the Delhi Police, was held to discuss the security arrangements in
place at IGIA.
Sources told Newsline that the meeting was held to create a comprehensive security plan for the airport, specifically identifying the areas where aircraft are visible from areas facing the runway. Officials of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) were also present at the meeting and it was concluded that the two funnel areas — Vasant Kunj and Dwarka — are within a direct threat from a terror attack.
The proposal has been sent to the Delhi Police Headquarters, the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Ministry of Home Affairs.
