These measures aim to protect lives and property by minimizing hazards like bird strikes, which are attracted to animal waste near airfields. The Punjab Home Secretary issued the restrictions under Section 144(6) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898.
Additionally, Deputy Commissioners have been tasked with ensuring enhanced cleanliness around airports and airbases to maintain safety in the affected areas.
