Lahore authorities have banned kite flying in areas near the city airport to ensure flight safety. The move aims to prevent accidents and protect aircraft during takeoff and landing.
The ban affects at least fifteen localities, including Taj Bagh, Bhatta Chowk, Nadirabad, Joray Pul, and Canal Bank Road. Kite flying will not be allowed in these areas under any circumstances.
In addition, several blocks of the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) are also included in the restrictions. Residents and visitors are advised to avoid flying kites in these zones.
The Pakistan Airports Authority has issued formal instructions to enforce the ban. The decision is part of broader efforts to maintain safe and uninterrupted airport operations. Officials emphasized that kite strings can pose serious risks to aircraft engines and airport safety.
Authorities urge the public to follow the rules and report any violations. They also reminded citizens that the ban is temporary and focused solely on protecting lives and property.
Kite flying remains popular in Lahore, especially during festivals, but safety concerns around the airport have prompted this measure. The authorities continue to work on balancing recreational activities with aviation safety.
Violating the kite flying ban near Lahore Airport may lead to fines or other penalties. Local law enforcement will monitor the affected areas closely.
Residents are encouraged to celebrate kite flying in designated open spaces away from the airport. This approach ensures both enjoyment and safety.
The Pakistan Airports Authority said similar restrictions have been successful in preventing incidents in other cities. They also plan to raise awareness about safe kite flying practices.
