Puri: The Union Civil Aviation Ministry has turned down the request of the Odisha government to declare the Bada Danda (Grand Road) in Puri as ‘no-flying zone’ during the Rath Yatra beginning Saturday.
Informing this to the media on Thursday, Puri SP Sarthak Sarangi said the Ministry in a letter has made it clear that the request cannot be considered as this is an international flying route.
The Ministry, however, maintained that there was no threat to Bada Danda as the overseas passenger jets fly at a height of 35,000 feet.
It also said that if any plane flying at a height of 10,000 feet, the pilot has to give the signal to the nearest airport.
