BENGALURU: Following India’s retaliatory strikes on terror camps and launch pads in Pakistan on Tuesday, security has been tightened in public places in the city such as railway stations and Kempegowda International Airport. “We have increased physical screening and intensified pat-down checks. More personnel have been deployed to take care of security,” a top Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) official said. The airport police have also doubled their presence, a police official said.
Bangalore International Airport Ltd, operator of the airport, is yet to respond to a questionnaire sent in this connection. Railway stations across the state are also on high alert. A top police official said, “We have deployed more personnel in stations across the state. Cops taking care of other work have been deputed for a few days,” he said.
