<h1>Authorities ban construction within 20 km of new international airport without statutory NOC, impose safety, wildlife, drone restrictions</h1> The district administration has ordered that no construction occur within a 20-km radius of the new international airport without a statutory no-objection certificate, warning of strict action for violations. Authorities directed measures to prevent waterlogging and maintain cleanliness, control bird and stray-animal activity, and ban drones and lasers near the aerodrome, alongside public-awareness drives. Departments were instructed to reinforce coordination among airport-environment, aerodrome and emergency-planning committees, ensure disaster-management, medical, firefighting, rescue and security preparedness, and provide timely progress reports as the greenfield airport project-being developed under a public-private partnership-advances toward initial commercial operations.
