Mumbai: In order to control the increasing number of bird hit cases, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's markets department will inspect meat shops in the vicinity of the international airport in Santacruz, to ensure they are dumping their garbage properly in closed bins.
"We had already served notices to several meat shops around the airport, following a series of meetings with airport authorities. Most of them are located in H-East and L wards (covering Santacruz and Kurla)," a senior markets department official said. Most of the shops are located within 10-km of the airport.
"We will carry out inspections to check if these shops are dumping waste properly. If not, we would cancel their licences," the official said.
The Bombay high court had recently directed the BMC to come up with a way to keep a check on the garbage dumped in a 10-km radius around the airport.
