Intensified security checks after a high alert in airports across the country have resulted in longer queues at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA). Air passengers are spending longer hours for baggage and security screening at the KIA, which is one of the busiest airports in the country.
Some air passengers posted their experience on tightened security. Karthik, a passenger, said that security staff ask passengers to remove their belt and watch while screening.
"Access control at all gates of the airport have been tightened and the screening has been intensified. There were slight delays due to intense passenger screening, but all within acceptable limits,"said a BIAL spokesperson.
