"If ever there is a terrorist attack or any other attack for that matter, these armoured vehicles shall be rushed to the spot and will come as the first resort of defence. This will enable CISF personnel to prevent the attackers from harming people, without coming in the line of attack," the official explained.After Delhi, these vehicles might also be stationed at airports in Ahmedabad, Chennai and Mumbai, among others. The security system at IGIA has been intensified as well.A senior official said that even though the number of advanced gadgets being procured by CISF for security at the airports has been rising prominently, there is no gadget that can match the advanced technology of these bullet resistant vehicles.

NEW DELHI: The Central Industrial Security Force on Friday received six bullet-resistant vehicles for Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, becoming the first airport in the country to have such vehicles deployed at its premises.Equipped with state-of-the-art weapons, these vehicles are being introduced to counter lone-wolf and vehicular attackers inside and near the periphery of the airport. The armoured vehicles will be handed over to CISF 's Quick Reaction Teams, trained to be the first responders in a crisis situation. The procurement of these vehicles has been done to minimise any damage caused by a terrorist attack.Officials said that earlier, there were no bulletproof vehicles at airports for the security of passengers and hence, the Bureau of Civil Aviation, recently, approved the procurement of such vehicles.Each vehicle costs anywhere between Rs 25 and 40 lakh and has a light machine gun mounted on it. They are bomb resistant and are deployed along with a specifically trained staff, at locations that are more prone to attacks at the airport.Delhi's IGI airport is one of the most hyper-sensitive airports in the country and is presently on a high alert after the Pulwama attack in Jammu and Kashmir last month. The security system at IGIA has been intensified as well.A senior official said that even though the number of advanced gadgets being procured by CISF for security at the airports has been rising prominently, there is no gadget that can match the advanced technology of these bullet resistant vehicles. "If ever there is a terrorist attack or any other attack for that matter, these armoured vehicles shall be rushed to the spot and will come as the first resort of defence.
