Action to prevent air traffic mishaps
District administration finalised a plan to prevent presence of birds in surroundings of the airport to avoid any air traffic mishap due to them.
A meeting held in this regard on Saturday was presided over by Additional Deputy Commissioner General (ADCG) Qamaruz Zaman Qaisrani. A ban would be imposed on throwing leftover food or garbage from marriage halls and hotels in surroundings of the airport.
The officers concerned have also sought approval of the additional chief secretary home for imposing section 144 against throwing waste food items around the airports and airbases.
The ADCG directed the forest department to ensure trimming of big trees from suburbs of the airport jurisdiction, while the wildlife department was asked to remove nests of birds from the trees.
