Bhubaneswar:15/6/17: Selling non-vegetarian items in open or being involved in butchery within 10 kms of the Biju Patnaik International Airport (BPIA) in Odisha capital will now cost imprisonment upto 3 years or a fine of Rs 10 lakh or both.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued guidelines in this regard in a bid to avoid bird hit incidents at the airport.

“During takeoff and landing, aircrafts fly at a low altitude upto 5-7 km from the runway for which there are chances of bird hit. Hence, the DGCA has instructed us to take stringent action to ensure no flying of birds within 10 kms of the airport,” said BPIA director Suresh Chandra Hota.
