Body Cameras Mandated for Customs Officers at Airports

The Indian government has decided that customs officers at international airports must wear body cameras when checking passengers at the Red Channel.

This is the area where people declare items that may have duties or restrictions.

The cameras will record interactions to make sure everything is fair and to prevent any wrongdoing.

Passengers will be told when they are being recorded, and the footage will be kept safe for at least 90 days.

This change is happening step by step at different airports.

So far, it seems to be working well, with fewer arguments and smoother checks.

The goal is to make customs processes more transparent and trustworthy for everyone.
