The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has been formally inducted as the aviation security agency at Noida International Airport (NIA) in Jewar.

The move signals operational readiness ahead of the airport’s commercial launch.

NIA is the 70th airport in India to come under CISF security cover. The CISF Aviation Security Group will handle perimeter and access control, passenger and baggage screening, terminal and landside security, deployment of Quick Response Teams, and coordination with local law enforcement agencies.

In the first phase, 1,047 personnel will be deployed under a Chief Aerodrome Security Officer. The strength will increase as operations expand, an official said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
