FAISALABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 24th May, 2026) Divisional Commissioner Madam Musarrat Jabeen directed to ensure zero waste around the airport and Pakistan Air Force airbase during Eid-ul-Azha in order to prevent bird hazard and ensure flight safety.

Chairing an important meeting in the division, she said that pigeon flying, use of laser lights and dumping of sacrificial animal waste and meat near the airport and airbase posed a serious threat to flight operations.
