A spokesperson of the airport said, "We have information about the arrival of these VVIPs but we cannot disclose everything to everyone for security reasons. We have to maintain secrecy for the VVIPs. All I can say is that they would be greeted with a tilak, garlanded and taken to the lounge. Now we also have bulletproof cars for them."
