A comprehensive study of building height restrictions in the area around the Mumbai airport will be carried out, Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju today told the Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
An official from Chief Minister's Office here said that Fadnavis met the Union Minister in New Delhi.
During the meeting, the Union Minister assured that a comprehensive study would soon be carried out regarding building height restrictions near the airport here, the official said.
The Bombay High Court recently ordered the Directorate General of Civil Aviation and other agencies to demolish or reduce the height (through partial demolition) of over 100 buildings near the airport within two months for violating the height-related norms.

Issues such as expediting the work of Pune airport, height clearance for construction of DN Nagar-Bandra-Mankhurd Metro in Mumbai were also discussed at the meeting.
Fadnavis thanked the Union Minister for giving 40 acres of Central government land in Dahisar for Mumbai Metro phase 7 and 9, an MoU for which would be signed tomorrow, the official added.
