Rudy, The Sensitive: Transit lounge for martyrs’ coffins

‘‘These are our martyrs,’’ he says, ‘‘and the least we can do is provide them a respectable spot where the families and the force they belong to can condole the loss in a dignified manner. In some of the airports, these bodies are placed on the floor for the ceremonies. This is just not right.’’

As of now, New Delhi is the only airport to have such a provision.

The committee on security enforcement—comprising Director of Security with the Airports Authority of India Anand Kumar, R K Singh from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security and Ajit Shekhawat from the Central Industrial Security Force—was asked to identify such spots in each airport and give the green signal to the airport director to start construction.

Sources said the committee has already made visits to Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad aiports.

In fact, the committee is shortlisting those airports which receive a large number of coffins.
