The Indian Government has reportedly approved to deploy body scanners at 84 airports in the country by March next year.

Among the 84 airports, 26 have been classified as hyper-sensitive airports and the remaining 58 as sensitive.

The new scanners are based on millimetre wave technology. They will replace existing equipment such as door frame, walk through metal detectors and handheld scanners at the airports, according to the circular.
