Yesterday, this paper ran a front-page story on a Kerala-based lawyer who is a petitioner in a case calling for the demolition of buildings over the certified height norms, which are in the flight path of airplanes taking off and landing at Mumbai airport. Most of these buildings are residential.

The petitioner's PIL has resulted in the Bombay High Court passing an order on Wednesday asking the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and other agencies to demolish or reduce the height of around 427 buildings in violation of norms. And this, the court says has to be done within the next two months.
