Airport Metro security in place New Delhi: The Airport Metro Express Line has taken another step towards its public opening as the long-standing decision on the security arrangement for the line has finally been taken. Like all other Metro corridors,this line too will have the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) manning the stations. The CISF conducted a security audit and submitted its report on Monday,following which the Ministry of Home Affairs has decided that the security will be handled by the CISF,along with private security guards engaged by the Delhi Airport Metro Express Private Limited,the concessionaire running the line. Though the audit has been done,the report is now being discussed by Reliance Infrastructure and the CISF. The number of personnel from the CISF and private security to be engaged on the line is being finalised, Mangu Singh,Director (Works),DMRC,told Newsline. Sources said the process is expected to take another week or 10 days,after which the line will be opened to public. Running way behind schedule,the line has already missed its Commonwealth Games deadline.
