Security measures at Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport have been ramped up after a bomb alert was received for a Hyderabad-Chandigarh Indigo flight number 6E 108 scheduled to depart on Saturday afternoon. Having gotten down, the force of the Central Industrial Security Force surrounded the aircraft, and all the passengers on board were safely evacuated. Thankfully, security officials also echoed that they failed to find the bomb during the search that was done after the plane had touched down. There have been enhancements in security, and vigorous checking is being done. There are no problems that one can be bothered about, remarked a security officer.
This is one of the similar cases of bomb threats made on different airlines of domestic as well as international terrestrial flights. In recent weeks, message threats increased, and more than 20 flights within a week were threatened; the majority of threats were in social networks. But, several studies have established that these threats were always fake. These incidents have occurred severally and therefore called for a lot of diversions and reshuffling of flights and much havoc within airports compounded by outbreaks of violence from security forces on persons of interest.
The authorities have stressed oughter alert and requested the passengers remain composed during such circumstances. The reported bomb threat at the Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport is an empty threat; the incident shows that security forces are still struggling to keep air travel safe across the world. The growing threat in society means that it is extremely important for there to be stringent measures that can increase security while, at the same time, there is recognition that the passengers themselves, who may pose a threat, will be very important in the continued provision of secure air transport. Airport authorities are also in the process of analyzing and improving security situations and implementing measures to reduce risks and increase confidence among flying passengers.
