Following news will give you some idea about security during red alart at IGI Airport.

Thief drives off with tractor at 'high-alert' IGI
NEW DELHI: Raising questions about security at IGI Airport during a "high-alert" period in the run-up to Republic Day, a thief managed to drive away
a tractor belonging to SpiceJet airline. More than a week after the January 19 incident, police are yet to make headway in the case.

Airport police said an unidentified person had driven away with the red Mahindra tractor parked at terminal 1D. "The theft took place in the early hours of January 19 morning. The last log entry for the tractor was made at 1.20am. Later, when a driver went to fetch it, the tractor wasn't there. After the management had frantically searched for the vehicle, it informed the police," said a senior investigating officer. An insider hand is suspected.

To make matters worse, sources claimed there was no CCTV footage of the incident. Highly placed officials claimed that most of the CCTV cameras were only "partially" functional at night.

Though CCTV cameras were placed at the spot inside IGI from where a tractor was stolen, they were reportedly only "partially" functional at night. "That is the reason why no clear images have emerged of the driver who made off with the vehicle," an official said.

Delhi Police refuted the claim. "With the Commonwealth Games around the corner, DIAL along with security agencies has spruced up security in the entire airport. We can assure you that there are no security threats at the tarmac and the CCTVs cameras are fulfilling their purposes," a senior police officer said.

However, DCP (IGI Airport) O P Mishra refused to speculate on whether CCTV footage of the incident was available with the police. "It (the footage) is an integral part of investigations and also involves the CISF and DIAL. Hence, the investigations will involve cooperation among several agencies," he said. He added the theft was a "one-off" incident and should not be seen "out of context".

Meanwhile, investigations are on. "We have asked all those involved in the handling of similar vehicles in the area to report to us. We are interrogating each employee. Beyond this, it will be too early to speculate, though the role of an insider seems a strong possibility," said Mishra.

Stuck in IGI airport toilet, Preity scales wall, tweets

NEW DELHI: Dense fog is not the only thing creating trouble at the IGI airport. Bollywood actress and IPL team owner Preity Zinta spent 10 minutes
stuck in a toilet at the departure terminal of IGI airport on late Tuesday evening. She had to climb the wall and jump over to get out.

According to the twitter account of the actress: "I spent 10 minutes stuck in the toilet at the airport. I finally had to climb the wall and jump over... People were calling out my name."

The actress was at the airport to board a Mumbai-bound flight when the incident occured. Thirty four-year-old Zinta further wrote on Twitter: "Being a tomboy when I was younger definitely helped. Trying to climb a wall is never easy," she said. The toilet door apparently got jammed. "I thought I was going to die as I am claustrophobic. I pulled a muscle in my arm but did provide entertainment to all," wrote the actress.

When TOI tried to get in touch with Zinta, a spokesperson for the actress said that she was in Dubai but confirmed that the incident took place.

Meanwhile, GMR-owned Delhi International Airport (P) Ltd — who manage the IGI airport — issued a statement after the incident was reported.

"The issue involving Ms Zinta was unfortunate and we are happy she is fine," said a DIAL spokesperson. DIAL officials added that no complaint was made to them on the toilet door malfunctioning
