To Handle Delhi Airport Rush, Big Decision Likely Today On Central Forces

The Union Home Ministry will deploy an additional 1,200 personnel from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) at the Delhi airport - adding to the 5,000-odd already deployed - to ensure faster security checks and ease the holiday season rush, NDTV has learnt. Sources said the decision will be made at a meeting called by the Home Secretary after days of complaints that it's taking more than four hours, as opposed to the usual two hours, to complete the check-in process before people can board flights.
