The Airports Authority of India is looking at constructing a modern fish market at Perunnelli near Muttathara as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity. The authority has initiated talks with the Loyola College of Social Sciences to undertake a baseline study for the project, which will also help it contain the bird menace at the airport.
The Department of Public Enterprises had issued revised guidelines in April 2010 to be followed by profit-making PSUs to donate a part of their income for social projects as part of the CSR activity. "The DPE circular states that there should be no duplication of the CSR project with either central, state or local government initiatives, and the AAI has been grappling with bird menace at the airport. So we decided to go ahead and construct a sheltered space and a waste disposal unit to contain the issue," an AAI official said.
