New Delhi, March 29

The Central Industrial Security Force on Sunday conducted a Joint Counter-Terrorist Mock Exercise at IGI Airport, Delhi, to assess preparedness and enhance seamless inter-agency coordination against evolving security threats.

According to a statement by CISF, personnel from CISF (QRT, BDDS, Dog Squad), Delhi Police, NSG, BCAS, DGCA, Delhi Fire Service, ARFF (DIAL) and Medical Services participated, demonstrating strong synergy and operational readiness.

CISF remains committed to ensuring safe and secure aviation operations through constant vigilance, alertness and coordinated action, the statement read.

The CISF undertakes the security of airports across India, as it was formed for the better protection and security of industrial undertakings owned by the Central Government.

CISF, in an X post, also assured security and seamless passenger facilitation at the newly inaugurated Phase I of the Noida International Airport in Jewar.

"CISF stands firmly deployed, ensuring robust security architecture, seamless passenger facilitation and vigilant protection of critical infrastructure--securing the skies with unwavering commitment," the post read.

On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Phase I of the Noida International Airport in Jewar.

Around 5,000 police personnel were deployed, with forces including PAC, RAF, ATS, CISF, and SPG to guard the airport. The area was declared a no-fly zone, with social media monitoring, control rooms, help desks, NDRF/SDRF alerts, and special parking arrangements for approximately 20,000 vehicles.

Earlier on Thursday, CISF personnel at ASG Shimla underwent intensive night firing exercises in near-zero visibility, refining precision firing skills and gaining hands-on experience with a range of weapons and essential equipment.

According to a statement, designed to simulate real-world challenges, these drills enhance alertness, strengthen decision-making and reinforce operational readiness in demanding conditions. Each exercise builds confidence, coordination and the capability to respond swiftly when it matters most.

Good initiative. But I hope these exercises also focus on minimizing disruption to passengers. Last time there was a drill at Mumbai airport, there was chaos and long delays. Coordination should mean efficiency for travelers too.

The scale of security for the new Noida airport is impressive - 5000 personnel! It shows the government is serious about making it a world-class, secure hub. This will boost investor confidence in the region for sure.

As a frequent flyer, I appreciate this news. The mention of night firing exercises in zero visibility is particularly important. Real threats don't happen in perfect conditions. Keep up the rigorous training!

Inter-agency coordination is the key. Often in emergencies, the biggest challenge is different forces working together. Glad to see CISF, NSG, Delhi Police etc. practicing jointly. Jai Hind!

While the drills are good, we also need to invest more in advanced technology for surveillance and threat detection. Can't just rely on manpower. Hope the budget allocations for such tech are increasing.
