Mangaluru Airport enhances security by providing bomb suits to Airport Security Group
Mangaluru: (Press Release) In a concerted effort to bolster security measures, Mangaluru International Airport has taken a significant stride by procuring and delivering a state-of-the-art bomb suit to the Airport Security Group (ASG) of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF). This proactive move aligns with the airport operator's commitment to equipping the central armed police force, responsible for safeguarding this crucial national installation, with cutting-edge security apparatus. Moreover, this initiative addresses a mandate highlighted by the civil aviation security regulator.
The bomb detection and disposal squad within ASG will utilize the newly-acquired bomb suit to effectively counter any potential security threat involving explosives within the airport premises. This development not only empowers ASG personnel trained in explosives management with heightened confidence but also offers them essential protection to handle emergent security challenges. The availability of an extensive range of bomb detection and disposal equipment on-site also equips them to promptly address threats.
In December of the preceding year, the airport had previously handed over the initial set of equipment to the bomb detection and disposal squad of the ASG unit. This move was a continuation of the airport operator's commitment, which earlier last year, included providing the ASG unit with a bullet-resistant vehicle. In line with this approach, the airport recently augmented the existing barracks to accommodate the increased strength of CISF personnel entrusted with ensuring around-the-clock security for the facility.
All these measures firmly align with the Vision 2025 established by the airport, aimed at transforming it into a preeminent hub characterized by safety, security, customer-centricity, and environmental consciousness. An airport spokesperson emphasized, "In a recent meeting with the CISF's senior leadership, the airport management reiterated its dedication to procure and furnish additional essential equipment required by the ASG unit to execute its responsibilities effectively."

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
