New Delhi: Delhi International Airport Ltd (DIAL) has moved the Delhi high court to restrain all interferences in the construction of a boundary wall at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport, saying the airfield has been perceived as an "important target" after the Pathankot airbase attack in January this year.
In an application, DIAL has said that boundary wall would add "another line of defence" in the security of the airport which falls under the "hypersensitive" airport category DIAL has alleged that construction work of the wall has been stopped due to violent protests by residents of the neighbouring village of Shahbad Mohammadpur, despite the construction being exclusively on airport land.
"It is pertinent to mention that the IGI airport falls under the category of hyper-sensitive airport and has been perceived as an important target by terrorist organisations especially after the attack on the air base at Pathankot," it said.
A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Sangita Dhingra Sehgal has asked the association, representing the village, and authorities concerned to file their reply to DIAL's application.
