LAHORE: Additional Chief Secretary Punjab Irum Bukhari chaired Monday a session over bird hazard control set up in the province for implementing the strategy to curtail the incidents of bird strikes and other probable hits to aircraft in the airport vicinity, ARY News reported.
The session deliberated over a number of possible solutions to avoid unpleasant instances around the airports as the Pakistan Air Force officials apprised the session of the inconveniences and accidents in the flight operation.
Pigeons hovering near the airports, flying kites, aerial firing, and laser lights pose dangers to flight operations, the session settled, noting the latter three unnatural causes be restricted by banning such an activity in the airport regions.
Irum Bukhari suggested these areas be declared red zones and directed session members to install sign boards claiming red zones and restricted areas. She says anyone found violating the directives may be held legally accountable for their actions.
