According the intelligence reports, 22 airports in the four states have been sent detailed warnings and authorities have confirmed high security measures are being implemented.
It is reported that all Border States including Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan and Gujarat – all border states – have, like Delhi, been marked for careful vigil.
The Civil Aviation Security Bureau has also written to the police chiefs in each state, the CISF or paramilitary force which guards airports, as well as to state-run and private airlines alerting them to the security threat..
Intelligence agencies have warned of nearly 100 terrorists being prepped to cross the disputed border before winter sets in and the routes into held Kashmir are covered with snow.
Few months back a report by security agencies disclosed India has not accorded specialized CISF security cover to over two dozen of its such sensitive facilities for the last five years owing to lack of funds.
A total of 27 such functional airports are being secured by other security forces like CRPF, India Reserve Battalions (IRBs) or state police units, keeping the designated aviation security force CISF out.
