When a hijacked aircraft lands at an Indian airport, which among the following will be responsible for laying the inner cordon ?

Explanation

In the event of an aircraft hijacking at an Indian airport, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which functions as the Airport Security Group (ASG), is responsible for laying the inner cordon. This is an immediate response measure mandated by the National Anti-Hijacking Policy to isolate the aircraft and prevent any unauthorized movement. The District Police are responsible for establishing the outer cordon to manage the airport perimeter and public access. While the National Security Guard (NSG) is the designated elite force for tactical intervention (the Task Force), the initial responsibility for containment through the inner cordon lies with the CISF. Although the NSG takes over tactical control upon arrival, official protocols and previous UPSC/CAPF official keys identify the CISF as the primary body responsible for laying the inner cordon.
