A senior airport official said,“The airport has been put on high alert. We have restricted the entry to visitors,who come along with the passengers. We have taken this decision to avoid any unnecessary crowd. We have even restricted the vehicles passing by the airport complex. These vehicles are being diverted to another road.”

“We have also started conducting random checks of the vehicles and increased patrolling on the premises. Apart from the check at the entry point,we have even put up another security check before the passenger boards the flight,” the official said.
