## ANSWER

Minister of State in the Ministry of CIVIL  AVIATION (GEN. (DR) V. K. SINGH (RETD))

(a):  Yes,  Sir.  The  Bureau  of  Civil  Aviation  Security  (BCAS)  has categorised the airports  in  the  country  based  on  security  point  of view in three categories namely Normal, Sensitive and Hypersensitive  airports.  There  are  a  total  of  68  Sensitive  and  31 Hypersensitive  airports  in  the  country.  Rest  of  the  airports  are Normal. List of Sensitive and Hypersensitive airports is at Annexure.

;

;

(b) to (d): No such proposal is under consideration of the Government to set up an Airport Security Control Centre (ASCC) for integration  of  command  for  aviation  security  across  the  country. However,  CISF  has  established  Aviation  Security  Control  Centre, integrating the Security Operations Control Centre (SOCC) of all 66 airports.  The  main  function  of  the  ASCC  is  to  monitor  security functions, threats and social media chatter & resource utilisation on a real-time basis.
