A committee constituted in this regard has mandated that these passes will only be made using the Aadhaar number.
“For the old existing passes, the validity has been extended till March 31,” CISF Director General O P Singh said.
The DG added that the force had made a request in this regard to the BCAS, the agency that frames airport security rules, as it was witnessing instances of fake or tampered AEPs being used by people to enter these sensitive facilities.
A senior CISF official explained that at times when an employee working at the airports was found to be indulging in a criminal act and his AEP was suspended or blacklisted, it was found that the individual got enrolled in a different company and again started entering the airport using a new AEP.
