Mumbai: The Bombay high court recently directed the BMC to demolish a hoarding near Prabhat Colony in Santa Cruz (E) because it obstructs the flight path of aircraft at the airport.
The court gave the BMC a week to clear the hoarding.
A division bench of Justice Anoop Mohta and Justice A S Gadkari was hearing two petitions by Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL), the airport operator, saying illegal hoardings posed a safety threat to aircraft landing and taking off.
MIAL said one of the hoardings was erected without permission of the Airports Authority of Indian (AAI) and the BMC. It said another hoarding had permission but violated the height limit.
The MIAL urged that the BMC be directed to take action against them.
