Coimbatore: Officials from the Coimbatore Corporation’s Town Planning and Health wings on Friday studied a sewage canal that passed through the Coimbatore Airport to see if it could either be diverted or closed to stop birds flocking the place.
The study is a fallout of the decision taken at a recent meeting involving the Coimbatore Corporation, district administration and the Airport authorities.
Sources in the Corporation said that after the Airport authorities said that they faced problems in the smooth running of the Airport because the canal attracted birds that increased the chances of birds hitting aircraft, they decided to take up a study to see what kind of solution could be found.
They said that the Airport authorities wanted the canal to be cleaned and if possible diverted away from the airport or at least be covered to the extent that it passed through the Airport. The canal in question originated north of the Avinashi Road, passed through Kalapatti and a host of residential areas to enter the Airport compound in the north and exit in the south to reach the Irugur channel.
