Gujarat HC orders action on illegal constructions near Surat airport
AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat high court on Friday directed the Centre, the Airports Authority of India (AAI), and the Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) to catch the ultimate judgment on what they should do about unauthorized constructions that are near the Surat airport. The HC has rapped the authorities for being “insensitive towards such a serious issue”. The airport handles 260 flights a week.
A PIL charged that the AAI had proceeded notifications for the elimination of constructions in buildings that were put up over the allowable purposes, making flights dangerous while catching off and landing at the domestic airport. Several builders and residents of approximately 50 buildings had also addressed the HC in this notice.
The HC has brought up the matter of construction of 1 meter to 14.3 meters higher than admissible purposes in the Inner Horizontal Surface Boundary. It has depreciated the inaction on the portion of the AAI and the SMC for more than a year after declaring notifications for the explosion of constructions of buildings which do not even have Building Use affirmations.
The HC remarked, “The security and safety of residents, travelers, aircraft, and properties cannot go unrecognized nor any the scope can be conferred to such issue, as on account of such inactions and not practicing severe steps upon the devastation of security standards, there could be the possibility of severe accidents and consequently may transform out to be the extraordinary loss to human lives as well as to property.”
The HC directed the authorities to take immediate response on the circumstance and determine on the notices dispensed to the buildings a year ago and inform the court whether they will devastate unofficial constructions. The HC was intensified at the SMC for enabling the buildings to be occupied without BU permissions, which were denied in 2017. The HC has solicited an explanation from the SMC on the delay in catching action in this opinion, by March 2. The court stated that inaction for more than a year has commenced to a situation that has now become invariable.
The HC has directed the authorities to deliver severe dimensions with respect to unapproved constructions and addressed them to strictly adhere to safety norms, which were prescribed by experts in a notification announced in 2015.
