CISF Secures Darbhanga Airport: A New Era of Aviation Safety

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) officially took over the security duties at Darbhanga airport in Bihar on Thursday, marking a pivotal step in bolstering aviation safety. With the induction of 145 personnel, the CISF aims to provide advanced, technology-driven security measures.

This deployment highlights strategic significance, given the airport's location near the India-Nepal border. The induction comes amidst increasing cross-border security concerns, including the threats of smuggling networks and drone sightings in the region. Darbhanga becomes the 72nd airport under CISF's armed protection.

Darbhanga airport, part of the UDAN scheme, has emerged swiftly among the fastest-growing airports, playing a crucial role in North Bihar's economic and social progress. Enhanced security is expected to further aid its trajectory as a pivotal regional hub.
