Posted by akpwld on January 19, 2008
Indian Airport has been put on high alert after warnings given to the Indian government by the intelligence report of ULFA trying to hijack aircraft. It is also come to the picture that they are planning to do so just to free their colleague from jail.
“As the Ulfa has not acted so far, they could well do it even now. They haven’t given up. They may be looking for a suitable moment to strike,” said a senior BCAS official.
Official sources confirmed that a red alert has been sounded in airports across the country. Paramilitary forces have been deployed at all airports, especially in the north east, and army units near the airports asked to stand by.
Reviews by airline authorities and intelligence agencies have revealed major security lapses at airports, which are generally guarded by state police. About 25 airports are manned by the Central Industrial Security Force personnel.
