Mumbai airport 'subject to new security measures'

People travelling from Mumbai have been advised that there have been new security measures put in place.

Travellers who take flights to Mumbai have been advised that when they come to depart the country there are a series of new security measures in place.

In the past, people did not experience any form of search until they reached the security hold area, the Times of India reported.

However, checks on passengers and their baggage will take place earlier, with the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security now requiring an X-ray system to be used for baggage and hand-held metal detectors which will be used by airport employees.

"Till now, there was no frisking or examining of luggage till one procured a boarding pass and moved to the security area. Now, most pieces of luggage will be screened at the entrance as well," an official at the airport told the newspaper.
