After the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad, municipalities around Kolkata’s Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport have swung into action to address open garbage dumps that pose potential aviation hazards. Five municipal bodies in the vicinity have begun clearing trash with urgency, especially from zones prone to attracting birds.
Though the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has yet to confirm bird strike as the cause of the Ahmedabad accident, initial investigations have hinted at that possibility. This has prompted a nationwide reassessment of waste management near airports.
Authorities in Kolkata are treating the warning seriously. Large-scale clean-up drives have been launched around Dum Dum, Rajarhat, and adjoining airport-adjacent areas. Civic officials are coordinating with airport safety teams to reduce any attraction for birds that might jeopardize flight safety.
The DGCA has already instructed airports to tighten environmental safeguards. With monsoon approaching, officials believe proactive measures now could prevent risks later.
