The govt is taking very serious steps to secure the airports at Delhi , Mumbai , Chennai and Bangalore but what about the rest of the airports across India . If the terrorists have to Hijack the plane then why should they only do it from only these 4 airports , they can do it from any of these 238 airports . Who will ensure security of the other airports .. Can we get away from terrorists attack by securing only these 4 airports .. The people sitting at the govt should be sensible enough to think about it .. I still fail to understand what kind of people are running our country ..
Today terrorists are well trained with all the Hi-Tech stuff .. They are not fools .. These guys are very well equipped .. They are not junk of fools who will not know bout other Airports across India .. What this govt is doing i fail to understand that ?
Lets hope and wish that the govt and the Intelligence agencies will think in this direction and do the arrangements to secure other Airports also ..
