[New Delhi] Airport Employees To Link Aadhaar With Their ID Card
Airport Employees will have to furnish their Aadhaar number to obtain the mandatory Airport Entry Passes (AEPs) used for entry and exit.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), the mandated force for civil airports, will implement the measure from January 1 after the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) issued an order in this regard on its request.
CISF Director General O P Singh said.”From January 1, all AEPs will be made using the Aadhaar number of the individual working or employed at the airport.
A committee constituted in this regard has mandated that these passes will only be made using the Aadhaar number.
“For the old existing passes, the validity has been extended till March 31,”
The Force has also sought creation of a AEP database so that red flags can be raised against defaulters or those who have been caught in wrongdoing,
Each AEP is checked by CISF security personnel during entry and exit at airports.
The force at present guards 59 civil airports in the country.
