NEW DELHI - Security at the Delhi airport was beefed up Thursday evening after paramilitary troopers guarding the airport noticed torchlight near the runway, an official said.
According to police officials at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, it received information from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) control room at the airport that the security personnel saw “someone flashing a torch near the boundary wall in the evening at the runway end”.
The security personnel were unable to trace the source of the light during a search.
They informed police and beefed up security at the airport, the police said.
The international airport across the country are already on high alert after the home ministry issued a alert last week stating that terrorists could target flights going to SAARC (The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) countries.
