Karachi:
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court rejected an appeal against the installation of mobile towers around the airport in Karachi and said that aviation and other affected authorities said these towers were built in accordance with international aviation standards.
A bench with three members consisting of Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar, Justice Syed Hassan Azhar Rizvi and Justice Aqeel Abbasi heard the appeal. According to observations from the responsible parties, the bench said there was no danger to the planes that started from the airport.
Another Muhammad Aslam Khan Advocate had claimed that a while ago a Pakistan International Airlines (Pia) aircraft crashed into a residential area where about 100 people died. The court said in comments that the accident on the flight PK-8303 was not due to the population.
During the hearing, Justice Mazhar noticed that the house hit by the plane was not so high. He said aircraft flying daily and the aviation authorities had no problem, so why someone else had the problem with it.
Justice Abbasi noted that the entire population around the airport could not be evacuated. Justice Rizvi said in his remarks that if any accident happened in the future, the responsibility would lie with the authorities who currently said that the towers did not pose any problem for the planes.
