Lahore:
Punjab Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has accelerated its air surveillance and digital mapping in and around Lahore and other sensitive zones to prevent bird -related aviation hazards.
EPA officials say the Agency’s air monitoring strength carries up reconnaissance flights over key locations, including Lahore Airport, to identify bird activity and witch seats. They use advanced technology to Pakinomist -roof -Ded and bird cages on digital maps, enabling quick removal. The E -shorting process is expected to end within two days.
According to EPA’s latest “Dening Report”, a targeted operation near Mehfooz Shaheed Garrison, close to Harbanspura Ring Road, removed 20 dragon -Reden and 30 collar nests. Pigeon cages were also dismantled in five different places, including Baden Road and Gulhan Park.
Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb warned that bird beets pose a serious threat to aircraft and called on the public to refrain from feeding birds in open spaces or on the rooftops.
The district administration has launched inspections of marriage halls, restaurants and meat shops. In Nishat Colony and Arbab Market, four shop owners were fined, and their premises sealed for the maintenance of open poultry and meat stalls.
Municipal teams have cleared unnecessary branches and garbage from Khurshid Alam Road, Javed Cheema Chowk and Zarar Shaheed Road, eliminating potential nests.
In a separate action, the provincial Wildlife Department removed 15 Dragon -Reden and 20 Collar Rede from PAF Golf Club. The next phase of the operation is now moving from Mehfooz Garrison against Harbanspura Ring Road.
EPA has appealed to the public to avoid throwing remaining flesh or sacrificial offerings in open areas warning that such practice attracts birds and increases the risk of air accident. Strict action will be taken against offenders.
