Brick kilns won’t operate within 8 km of Srinagar Airport: HC

The High Court Tuesday directed Government of India (GoI) and Jammu Kashmir Government to ensure that no brick kiln is permitted to operate their furnace, generating smoke, within 8 kms from the centre of Srinagar Airport runway.
The division bench of Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice Sindhu Sharma directed the authorities to ensure that no brick kiln is permitted to operate their furnace or undertake any activity whereby smoke is generated in any manner within 8 kms from the centre of the Srinagar Airport runway.
However, the bench directed that brick kiln owners can undertake other activities necessary for their business other than the smoke generated activities.
The direction was passed to Union Ministry, Civil Aviation; Airport Authority of India; Indian Air Force and JK government through Chief Secretary.
The court directed Chief Secretary, JK to take immediate action to ensure that no un-registered brick kiln owners are permitted to undertake any kind of activity.
The authorities were directed to ensure that the directions passed by the court are strictly implemented.
The directions were passed after counsel Ateeb Kanth submitted that complete prohibition imposed on brick kiln to operate near the Airport is causing grave hardship to the brick kiln owners.
