Delhi police to book people for gathering on NH 8 stretch close to airport

If you are among the bird-watchers who regularly gather on roads around the Delhi Airport to admire aircraft landing and taking off, the Delhi Police can spoil your plans.

After reviewing the security threat at the funnel point on NH 8 near the airport, the police have decided to book people gathered there for trespassing, wrongfully parking cars and even assembling.






According to officials of DIAL (Delhi International Airport Limited), the security of airplane taking off from the airport has been a source of major concern.

According to the officials, it was observed that a large number of cars were routinely parked in the area and many people gathered there.

"The issue of roads being close to the runaway has been a cause for worry for all of us because planes pass right above the road and can easily be harmed by unscrupulous elements," said Arun Arora, spokesperson of DIAL.

The police have now banned assembling on both sides of the road for a stretch of 250 metres.
