The HC is hearing a 2015 Public Interest Litigation (PIL) submitted by Mohali Industries Association on making Chandigarh International Airport totally practical by getting rid of all infrastructure-related shortages.
The Central federal government, throughout the previous hearing, had actually mentioned that the status relating to setup of ILS CAT-II would be put prior to the high court by the participants throughout the next date of hearing (February 13).
On Monday, an affidavit in this regard was submitted by KS Lamba, Air Officer Commanding, 12 Wing Air Force Station, Chandigarh, prior to the department Bench of Chief Justice Ravi Shanker Jha and Justice Arun Palli.
In the affidavit, it was said, “The installation, commissioning and calibration of 32 element ILS localizer for Runway 29 at Air Force Station Chandigarh have been completed on January 17, 2023. The runway is Cat-II compliant as per this court’s order. New Instrument Approach Charts Cat-II ILS equipment for reduction of Aerodrome Operating Minima to Runway Visual Range (RVR) 350 M is being developed and will be published in due course for operations.”

The draft working approval for the subject proposition is under vetting at Air HQs, and the very same will be released by the Ministry of Defence and the working approval will be released by Ministry of Defence after the very same is vetted by HQ Directorate General Defence Estates (DGDE).”
