The central government has taken multiple steps like increasing the number of CISF personnel, immigration counters and departure entry lanes to avoid congestion at the top Indian airports across the country, Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Friday.
In December of last year, passengers encountered extensive queues at major airports, including Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. Subsequently, the minister convened a meeting with the operators of these airports to address the issue.
The number of CISF personnel at the top 16 airports in India has increased by 21 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) to 24,733 in December this year, the minister said during a press conference on Friday.
