Deputy Chief Minister Appeals to Rajnath Singh for Adjustment of Height Restrictions at City Defence Airports

In a recent correspondence, Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar raised concerns regarding the stringent restrictions imposed by defence airports in Bengaluru when approving No Objection Certificates (NOC) for construction activities within a 20-kilometer radius of the facilities. The letter highlights the challenges that these regulations pose to urban development and infrastructure projects in the area.

Bengaluru, known as Indias technology hub, has been experiencing significant growth and expansion, leading to increased demand for construction and development. The Defence Ministry’s regulations are designed to ensure national security and safety, but they have raised questions about balancing development with regulatory requirements.

Shivakumars letter calls for a review of these restrictions to facilitate responsible urban growth while still maintaining necessary security protocols. The Deputy Chief Minister aims to engage with the relevant authorities to find a workable solution that addresses both development needs and security concerns in the rapidly growing city of Bengaluru.
