Calling it a “very serious” issue, the Bombay High Court Monday directed the Airports Authority of India (AAI) to produce the safety audit to see if norms related to heights of buildings in close vicinity of the Mumbai airport were being followed. Advocate Yeshwanth Shenoy, the petitioner, brought with him a thermocol model of buildings to demonstrate his case. The red markings on buildings’ crown, surrounded by clouds, demonstrated danger
Through his PIL, he alleged lapses and callousness on the part of the AAI while granting permission for building construction around the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) and Juhu Airport. He said the efforts, during a catastrophe, will prove to be a futile exercise for the firefighters as aviation fuel is highly combustible given the narrow lanes of slums around CSIA.
