New Delhi: What has given a shot in the arm to all efforts to revamp airport security protocols is the new Immigration, Visa Foreigners’ Registration and Tracking (IVFRT) system.
Union home ministry officials said that the system was in place at almost all Indian missions, immigration checkposts and FRRO/FRO offices which have been computerised and networked to develop a secure and integrated delivery framework to facilitate “legitimate travellers”. In addition to the “unobtrusive” security mechanism grid now being put in place, the CISF has also increased the number of officers in critical tasks. It has also increased the number of its courses in courtesy and personal interaction skills.
“The new drills have been planned in such a manner that nothing goes unnoticed,” the CISF DG said. The force has also recently concluded a master training of sophisticated gadget usage skills to all its airport security officers.
