    The report also said, new CISF strength will not only be used to render the core duty of the force -- of providing an anti-terrorist and anti-hijack cover at the hypersensitive facility -- but also to meet the challenge of the ever growing passenger footfall, both for domestic and international travel, sources said.

    Besides, citing officials, a CNN-News 18 report said, the Delhi International Airport Ltd has been asked to demolish its lounge this week to create more space for security gates. Immigration has also been identified as an area of concern vis-a-vis overcrowding, the report added.

    It also pointed at the security check, which are apparently a major bottleneck.
