Kolkata: In the wake of the Ahmedabad tragedy, the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) buildings department has alerted the executive engineers in the boroughs to strictly adhere to the building height guidelines sent by Airports Authority of India (AAI).
The AAI issues guidelines to KMC regarding building height restrictions around airports to ensure flight safety. These guidelines are based on the AAI's colour coded zoning maps (CCZM) and dictate permissible building heights within specific zones. Construction exceeding the permissible heights requires an NoC from AAI.
According to a buildings department official, maximum vigilance will be maintained in the Cossipore-Dum Dum belt, which is closer to Kolkata airport, and the areas near Behala flying club.
According to a modified building rule, the KMC executive engineers need to carefully pass even a G+1 building in the Cossipore-Dum Dum belt due to its proximity to the airport. As far as sanctioning plans in other city areas is concerned, KMC has asked the borough executive engineers to follow the CCZM and, in case of any doubt, refer the matter to seniors at the civic headquarters.
"In most cases, we need to keep a check on G+4, G+5, and G+6 buildings located within the specified 20-km radius.

Any building crossing the approved height limit will require special sanction from us. We will take a decision in coordination with AAI," a civic official said.
According to the Ministry of Civil Aviation (Height Restrictions for Safeguarding of Aircraft Operations) Rules, 2015, no construction or plantation activity is permitted within a 20-km radius of an airport's Aerodrome Reference Point (ARP) without clearance from authorities concerned.
Builders, developers, and individual property owners must secure a mandatory NoC before undertaking any such activity. The NoC, once issued, remains valid for eight years and can be extended for a maximum of 12 years.
