NEW DELHI: The Central Industrial Security Force ( CISF ) will take over security of Lengpui airport in Aizawl Mizoram on April 24, making it the country’s 69th civil airport under CISF protection since 2000.
A senior CISF officer told TOI that CISF will start off its engagement with a joint deployment with Mizoram Police and CRPF from April 21, for a smooth transition.
Located near Myanmar and Bangladesh borders, Lengpui airport is a vital link for India’s Act East Policy , which aims to enhance connectivity and economic ties with Southeast Asia. “CISF’s expertise in counter-terrorism and aviation security strengthens national security, ensuring passenger safety and supporting Mizoram’s economic growth. This milestone enhances connectivity and reinforces India’s commitment to securing its northeast aviation infrastructure,” the CISF spokesperson said on Monday.
CISF’s presence in Mizoram is expected to boost confidence among travellers and airlines, potentially increasing flight operations and supporting the state’s economic growth. “This initiative not only strengthens India’s aviation security network but also reaffirms the government’s focus on integrating the Northeast into the nation’s growth story,” said a CISF functionary.
