The Immigration unit
at the Tiruchi Airport has been networked with the Bureau of Immigration
headquarters at New Delhi as part of increased security measures. The
connectivity would help the Immigration authorities to monitor the movement of
passengers better.
It would also give the
Immigration authorities here access to the ‘look out circulars’ issued against
certain persons, which are centrally pooled in New Delhi. This eliminates the
possibility of any delay in the circulars reaching the authorities here.
Besides, the network
also obviates the need for manual compilation of data of passengers as given in
the embarkation and disembarkation cards, which are now directly fed into the
system.
The connectivity,
established by the National Information Centre, comes as part of enhanced
security measures planned by the Bureau of Immigration.
Plans are afoot to
connect the airport with the Foreign Regional Registration Officers and the
superintendents of police who function as Foreign Registration Officers .
