The Indian Air Force has asked Bengaluru's civic body to ensure that all meat, chicken, and fish shops near the Yelahanka air base are closed till 20 February 2023.
The Air Force on 3 February issued a clarification regarding the request, saying that the measures are needed to ensure safety of aircraft during the Aero India show. The order has been issued for a 10 km radius around the Yelahanka Air Force Station.
The IAF added that while consumption of non-vegetarian food can be allowed in the area, waste material like bones need to be disposed of in a strict manner. This is to prevent excessive bird activity in the vicinity of the airfield.
