Stamping of hand baggage to continue at Amritsar airport
Passengers at Amritsar airport will continue to have their hand baggage tags stamped due to the sensitive security status of the airport, a CISF official has said. The decision was taken considering the airport's proximity to the Pakistan border and the two hijacking incidents in 1999 and 1982. The practice of stamping hand baggage has been stopped at 31 airports.
