In a bid to strengthen airport security, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has conducted a specialised training programme for Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel to enhance preparedness against potential drone-related threats in Lucknow.
A dedicated IAF training team held a session at the airport, focusing on the identification, assessment, and response to hostile or suspicious drones. During the programme, CISF personnel were trained to recognise drone threats, carry out risk assessments, follow proper reporting protocols, and coordinate effectively with other security agencies.
