CISF Assumes Security Responsibility at Bihar's Darbhanga Airport

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has taken over security at Bihar's Darbhanga Airport, deploying 145 personnel including Quick Response Teams, Bomb Disposal Squads, and K9 units. This marks Darbhanga as the 72nd airport under CISF cover and the third in Bihar after Patna and Gaya. The deployment addresses strategic concerns due to the airport's proximity to the India-Nepal border and emerging threats like drone sightings. Darbhanga Airport, operating within an Indian Air Force station, has seen rapid growth under the UDAN scheme, enhancing regional connectivity.
