The central government is moving to buy new scanners with better technology. It is in the process of procuring 131 full-body scanners and 600 new hand-baggage scanners at over Rs 1,000 crore. The most prominent ones on the list of over three dozen AAI airports are Chennai and Kolkata, besides Srinagar and Amritsar, as per a News18 exclusive report.

The airports in Delhi and Mumbai, run by private companies, are also planning to buy such equipment on the fast-track mode this year. News18 claimed to have accessed the global tender documents issued by the AAI for the airports it operates directly. The full-body scanners will cost Rs 788 crore; and the hand-baggage scanners, Rs 246 crore. Privacy concerns and later the Covid pandemic delayed the project but the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) has since pushed for it, according to the report.

The door frame-type metal detectors being used at present will be replaced with full-body scanners, quickening the security clearance process by reducing the need for pat-downs. This will also ensure better screening, particularly at sensitive and hypersensitive airports.

The new scanners for hand baggage can eliminate the need for passengers to take out laptops and phones, and other such gadgets from their hand luggage.

]]> India Bans Twitter Accounts Of Pakistan Embassies In UN, Turkey, Iran & Egypt https://publictrustofindia.com/2022/06/28/india-bans-twitter-accounts-of-pakistan-embassies-in-un-turkey-iran-egypt/ Tue, 28 Jun 2022 09:46:22 +0000 https://publictrustofindia.com/?p=1376 New Delhi: In a big news the official Twitter accounts of Pakistan Embassies in UN, Turkey, Iran and Egypt have been banned by the social media platform in India.

The development came immediately after Twitter withheld the account of the national public broadcaster in Pakistan – Radio Pakistan. After these official accounts were withheld in India, the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs has urged Twitter to restore the accounts with immediate access.

Earlier the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting had blocked 16 YouTube news channels including 6 Pakistan-based channels as they were found to spread disinformation related to India’s national security, foreign relations, and public order. In such a time the current development of banning of the above stated Twitter accouns has taken place.

According to the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, these YouTube channels were spreading false, unverified information to create panic, incite communal disharmony, and disturb public order in India. The blocked social media accounts include six Pakistan-based and 10 India-based YouTube news channels, which had a cumulative viewership of over 68 crore.

None of the digital news publishers had furnished information to the Ministry as required under rule 18 of the IT Rules, 2021, the government said.

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said that these YouTube channels based in Pakistan were found to have been used in a coordinated manner to post fake news about India on various subjects such as the Indian Army, Jammu, and Kashmir, and India’s foreign relations in the light of the situation in Ukraine among others .

The content of these channels were observed to be completely false, and sensitive from the perspective of national security, sovereignty, and integrity of India, and India’s friendly relations with foreign States.
