Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport recently conducted a comprehensive security drill in collaboration with the National Security Guard (NSG) to bolster its emergency response and anti-hijack preparedness. The exercise aimed to simulate a hijack scenario and evaluate the effectiveness of response protocols and coordination among various security agencies.

Led by NSG commandos, the drill involved swift and coordinated actions to neutralise simulated threats and secure the airport premises. Such drills are crucial for testing the readiness of airport personnel, security forces, and emergency responders in handling crisis situations with precision and efficiency.
