Mumbai: Fliers to and from the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) owe much to this 20-year-old. Meet Sohail Chand Sayed. He is among the 18 bird scarers (plus one supervisor) who ensure that your flights are safe from bird hits.
Avians are fond of airports as the green airfield promises easy availability of insects, and they are also attracted by water and the thermal heat of the runway, especially during rains.
Sayed, a class XII (commerce) student of Thakur college in Kandivli loves to chase the birds around. He and others work in shifts and keep their allotted territory of approximately 300 metres clear of birds. Each of them are given about 200 packets of crackers and sound guns.
