Only one bag in cabin henceforth
The Hindu
Some personal items are exempted
If you are accustomed to give rules a go-by and carry more than one cabin baggage on a flight, you may not be able to do that anymore. The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), which is in-charge of security at airports, has demanded stricter implementation of the “one hand bag” policy.
In a letter to the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), the CISF’s IG for airports has written that as per rules framed by the former, “no passenger should be permitted to carry more than one hand bag. It has been seen that passengers on an average carry 02-03 numbers of hand bags to the screening point. This has led to increased clearance time as well as delays, congestion in PESC [pre-embarkation security check] point and inconvenience to passengers.” The letter dated January 19, 2022 sought better implementation of the rule on hang bags.
The BCAS is the security regulator for the aviation sector.
