Bird Strike Risks at Mumbai Airports: AWBI Concerns Mount

Bird Strike Risks at Mumbai Airports: AWBI Concerns Mount

The Animal Welfare Board is worried about the risk of birds hitting planes at Mumbai airports.

They say the city lets animals be slaughtered in places too close to the airports, which attracts birds.

This breaks the rules meant to keep planes safe.

After a recent plane crash where a bird strike might have been the cause, the board wants the government to make sure these rules are followed to prevent accidents.

They also want the same safety rules for the new airport in Navi Mumbai.
