Separate bylaws for highrises near airport

Jaipur: To keep a check on highrise buildings near the state hangar and Jaipur airport, the urban development and housing (UDH) department might formulate separate bylaws for this zone. In a meeting, chaired by the UDH additional chief secretary (ACS), Ashok Jain, directions have been given to Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) zone commissioner to analyze and examine the bylaws of other airports in the country before formulating new norms. Talking to TOI, Jain said, "We have sought a report in 15 days. After examining the report a decision will be taken about formulating norms."

According to the officials, there are no specific bylaws at present to construct a building near the airport. The necessity to formulate the norms was felt after the district collector wrote a letter to JDA. "There is a VIP movement near the state hangar and it poses a security threat with highrises constructed in nearby areas. At present, the developer can construct a building after procuring no objection certificate from the Airports Authority of India (AAI)," an official said.
