The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) conducted an odd hour mock drill at Navi Mumbai Airport to test emergency preparedness during late-hour contingencies.
The security exercise simulated a high-threat scenario involving an armed attack within the airport boundaries and the unlawful seizure of vital installations. During the operation, CISF personnel demonstrated swift response, tactical coordination and effective handling of the simulated threat scenario, underscoring CISF's unwavering commitment towards safeguarding critical airport infrastructure and ensuring seamless aviation security round the clock.
