Airport officials explained that strong light beams can disorient pilots, cause glare, and trigger temporary flash blindness, increasing landing errors. Night conditions make eyes more sensitive, intensifying the danger. Several incidents have already been reported and flagged to police.

The problem is mainly linked to private establishments, including party halls and hotels, around the airport. Officials stressed that even accidental use of lasers endangers aviation safety. They have urged the police to strengthen surveillance and patrols, especially in areas like Chinniyampalayam and Neelambur during evenings.

The Airports Authority of India recommended public warnings, cautionary signage, and awareness drives to educate residents about legal and safety risks. City police are coordinating with airport authorities to ensure enforcement and sensitisation campaigns. Officials emphasized that safe landings require uninterrupted visibility and any distraction, even momentary, can compromise aviation safety.

The initiative coincides with GST 2.0, which introduces a two-slab tax system. GST on over 375 daily-use items has been cut. Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the campaign as a “festival of savings” for all Indians.

During the campaign, MPs and party workers will conduct daily padyatras in selected markets. They will greet shopkeepers with flowers and distribute placards promoting Swadeshi and Made-in-India products. The campaign also emphasizes supporting local businesses.

The outreach aims to help the poor, middle class, MSMEs, women, and youth by lowering household expenses. MPs will submit daily reports of their activities to central and state offices. The new GST rates will simplify compliance for businesses and make essential items more affordable nationwide.
