The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) will soon take over the security of the Vijayawada International Airport at Gannavaram in Krishna district.
At present, the security of the airport is being handled by various agencies. Recently, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) has decided to step up the security and entrusted the CISF with the task, said Krishna district Superintendent of Police P. Joshua.
The Central government granted international status to Gannavaram airport in May 2017 after flights to Oman, Kuwait and some other Middle East countries were introduced in that year.
