The official added that they have mentioned the advisory at the entry of the airport to avoid any confusion later. The advisory comes in the backdrop of CISF`s request to BCAS to ensure that the one bag rule is enforced by all stakeholders and airlines as passengers carrying 2-3 hand baggage create congestion at security check-points and increase security screening time that results in inconvenience to passengers.
