The domestic airport in Ambala Cantonment, set to become operational by February 2025, will have security managed by Haryana Police. This decision replaces the initial plan to deploy central forces. Haryana’s Energy Minister Anil Vij emphasized that police personnel have undergone rigorous training to ensure they are well-prepared for the task. Robust security measures, including surveillance systems and controlled access points, will be implemented to guarantee the safety of passengers and airport operations.
The deployment of state police instead of central forces highlights the government’s confidence in the capabilities of Haryana Police. This move is expected to not only enhance security but also create job opportunities for local personnel. The operationalization of the airport is a significant step in boosting regional connectivity and economic development.
