The Punjab Home Department has imposed Section 144 within a 15-kilometre radius of airports and air force bases across the province \u2014 from June 5 to 20 \u2014 in a bid to ensure flight safety, especially keeping in view the upcoming Eidul Azha.<\/p>\n
The disposal of meat close to the airports in the aftermath of Eidul Azha \u2014 to be celebrated later this week \u2014 often attracts birds to the site, posing a serious threat to flight safety, passengers and nearby surroundings. Awareness campaigns have been launched in recent years to avoid the possibility of such incidents.<\/p>\n
In a notification issued by Punjab\u2019s home department, it was detailed that under Section 144, the following activities will remain banned within a 15-km radius of all airports and airbases: pigeon-flying, fireworks, use of drones and laser lights, and the dumping of sacrificial waste and Sadqa meat. The ban will remain in place till June 20.<\/p>\n
The banned activities were termed as a \u201cserious threat to flight operations\u201d and the decision has been taken to ensure the protection of human lives and property.<\/p>\n
All deputy commissioners have been directed to ensure special cleanliness arrangements at airports and their surrounding areas.<\/p>\n
