After the horrific plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12, the Civil Aviation Ministry on Wednesday issued new rules to control structures that pose a threat to aircraft safety.
The draft called Aircraft (Demolition of Obstruction) Rules, 2025 will be implemented after being published in the official gazette. Under this rule, immediate action can be taken against buildings and trees exceeding the height limit in areas around airports.
Notices will be sent to building owners.
The building owners will have to submit detailed information along with the dimensions and site plan of the structure within two months of receiving the notice. If someone does not follow the rule, the building can also be demolished or the height can be reduced.
For physical verification of structures, after informing the owners, officials can enter the premises in daylight and in such a situation, if the officials do not cooperate, they can take action based on the available information and send the matter to DGCA.
Who will be eligible for compensation?
If someone does not comply with the rules, the chief officer will have to submit a report of the case to the District Collector, after which he will be responsible for ensuring demolition as per the order.
To challenge this order, the building owner can file an appeal with the appellate authority. For this appeal, supporting documents and a fee of one thousand rupees will also have to be submitted.
However, only those persons who are eligible to claim compensation under Section 22 of the Indian Air Force Act, 2024, who will not comply with the orders. Also, non-compliant structures built after the notification will not be eligible for compensation.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation has asked people to submit objections or suggestions within 20 days of the publication of the notification. Replies can be sent to the civil aviation regulator DGCA.
When did the accident happen?
Let us tell you, on June 12, the plane that left for London from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad met with a major accident just seconds after takeoff.
The Air India plane crashed in the hostel premises of BJ Medical College in Meghnagar. In this accident, 241 out of 242 people on board the plane died. Former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was also among those killed.
