Mumbai, Aug 25: The entry of visitors to the domestic and international terminals of Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport here has been banned with immediate effect as part of beefed-up security following the twin car bomb explosions in the city. "Following a review of the security arrangements, we have decided to ban the entry of visitors into the buildings and strict vigil is being maintained,” airport director Sudhir Kumar told newspersons.

Security around the airport has also been tightened, he added.

The ban on entry of visitors, which was imposed for nearly a week during the independence day celebrations, was lifted recently.
