Ahmedabad: In the wake of increasing number of bird hits at the Sardar Vallabhbhai International Airport, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and Airport Authority of India (AAI) have joined hands to put an end to the menace. They have formed a five-member committee which includes two officials from the civic body and three from AAI.
Deputy municipal commissioner, north zone, SK Langa said as per the Joint Action Plan (JAP), we had a threadbare discussion on bird hits taking place at the airport and reasons behind them. The new committee will be meeting regularly to discuss the issue. AMC officials will extend full co-operation and help to airport authorities to curtail the bird menace."
"In a major drive, AMC authorities collected over 400 tons of garbage around the airport which was later scientifically disposed off," added Langa. A senior AAI official told TOI, "...We have apprised the AMC authorities about illegal garbage dumping, breaking of outer wall of airport by local residents and other related matters."
