Delhi Airport is installing new perimeter security measures after being classified as "hyper-sensitive" by security agencies.
According to the Press Trust of India, the airport will install a four-layer 'perimeter intrusion system', internet protocol-based cameras, in-line baggage clearing system and explosive vapour detectors to counter growing terror threats to the airport and make it less congested.
The new system will feature taut wire, buried cables and hi-tech CCTV cameras along with radars to effectively track any kind of intrusion on the airport land, a senior airport security official says.
"All the equipments will work in tandem. If a person does intrude and step on the airport land, the underground cables will send a signal to the camera which will instantly zoom in on the intrusion point.
"This would be followed by an alarm thereby alerting the security officers posted there."
