Question map
When was the CISF inducted at airports ?
Explanation
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) was inducted into airport security on February 3, 2000, starting with the Jaipur Airport. This decision was taken by the Government of India following the hijacking of Indian Airlines flight IC-814 in December 1999, which highlighted the need for a specialized and uniform security agency for all commercial airports in the country.
Prior to this, airport security was the responsibility of the respective State Police forces. The CISF, which is one of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) under the Ministry of Home Affairs, now provides security to over 60 international and domestic airports across India, including sensitive installations like Delhi and Mumbai airports.
