.KP+CS+for+Implementation+of+Kite+Ban,+Use+of+Laser+Beam+Near+Airports
To ensure aviation safety and prevent potential hazards, the government has implemented stringent measures through the KP+CS (Kite Prohibition and Control System). This system prohibits the flying of kites and the use of laser beams near airports.
Kite Prohibition and Control System (KP)
* Bans the flying of kites within a 5-kilometer radius of airports. * Empowers authorities to confiscate kites and impose penalties on violators. * Raises public awareness about the dangers of kite flying near airports.
Laser Beam Control System (CS)
* Prohibits the use of laser beams or pointers near airports. * Laser beams can distract or temporarily blind pilots, posing a significant risk to aircraft. * Authorities have the power to seize laser devices and prosecute offenders.
Implementation and Enforcement
* Law enforcement agencies, airport authorities, and regulatory bodies are responsible for enforcing the KP+CS. * Surveillance systems and surveillance patrols are deployed to detect and deter violations. * Penalties for violators include fines, imprisonment, and confiscation of equipment.
Benefits
* Enhanced aviation safety by reducing the risk of collisions between aircraft and kites or laser beams. * Protection of pilots and passengers from potential hazards. * Maintained operational efficiency by preventing disruptions and delays caused by kite-related incidents.
Public Cooperation
The success of the KP+CS depends on public cooperation. Citizens are urged to: * Refrain from flying kites near airports or in designated no-kite zones. * Avoid using laser beams or pointers in the vicinity of airports. * Report any violations or suspicious activities to the authorities. By adhering to these regulations, we can jointly ensure the safety and security of our airports and maintain the safety of air travel. The KP+CS is a testament to the government’s commitment to protecting the public and safeguarding the aviation industry.KP CS Urges Ban on Kite Flying, Laser Beams Near Airports
KP CS Urges Ban on Kite Flying, Laser Beams Near Airports
A meeting of the Bird Hazard Control Committee was held in Peshawar under the chairmanship of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Secretary Nadeem Aslam Chaudhary. Officials from the Air Force, Police, Civil Aviation, and other relevant departments attended the meeting. Chief Secretary Chaudhary emphasized the need to prevent aviation accidents caused by bird strikes, aerial shooting, and kite flying near airports. He stated that national assets and precious lives must be protected. Air Vice Marshal Sajjad Noori highlighted the risks posed by birds and the importance of mitigating bird strikes. PAF officials presented data on the damage caused by kite flying, laser beams, and aerial shooting, and the preventive measures taken in collaboration with the civil administration. Chaudhary ordered strict action against individuals involved in kite flying, pigeon flying, aerial shooting, and laser beam usage. He directed the cleaning of areas adjacent to airports and launched an awareness campaign. A ban on high-powered laser beams in Peshawar, Mardan, Nowshera, and Kohat was also imposed. The meeting also called for attention to garbage and animal waste clearance during Eid-ul-Azha to prevent bird hazards.
Kite Ban and Laser Beam Restrictions Implemented near Airports
Authorities have announced strict measures to ensure safety and prevent accidents near airports.
Kite Ban:
To address the risks posed by kites, a comprehensive ban has been implemented within designated zones near airports. Unauthorized flying of kites in these areas will result in severe penalties.
Laser Beam Prohibition:
The use of laser beams near airports has also been prohibited. Pointing lasers at aircraft can cause visual impairment and disorientation for pilots, potentially leading to catastrophic incidents.
Collaboration:
KP (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) and CS (Civil Society) have joined forces to implement these measures effectively. They will work together to raise awareness among the public and monitor compliance.
Safety First:
Officials emphasized that these restrictions are not intended to restrict legitimate use of these devices but to ensure the safety of aircraft and passengers. The measures aim to minimize the potential for accidents and protect the lives of those involved in aviation.
Enforcement:
Authorities have warned that violators of the ban will face legal consequences. They urge the public to cooperate fully with these regulations and prioritize safety.
Positive Response:
The announcement has been met with a positive response from the community. Residents have expressed their support for the measures, recognizing the importance of preventing accidents and safeguarding the well-being of all.
