Pune Airport Bans Laser and Beam Lights for 60 Days
The Pune City Police have made a rule to stop people from using bright beam and laser lights near the Pune airport.
This is because the Indian Air Force and civilian aircraft fly in and out of the airport, and these lights can make it hard for pilots to see at night.
The lights can be distracting and even dangerous.
The ban started on September 7, 2025, and will last for two months.
Anyone who breaks this rule will face strict consequences.
Pune City Police issued orders to restrict beam and laser lights.
The restriction is near Lohegaon Technical and Civil Airport.
The order aims to ensure safe navigation for pilots.
The ban is effective for a period of 60 days, starting September 7, 2025.
Violators will face action under the law.
