This was found in a survey carried out by the Mumbai International Airport Ltd (MIAL), DGCA told the HC during the hearing of a public interest litigation which has alleged threat to the passenger safety due to illegal structures around the two airports.
DGCA said that the height of the buildings along the periphery of airports cannot be more than 56.9 metres.
Earlier, the HC had asked the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to take action against Sunita Society at Santa Cruz which has allegedly breached the aviation safety rules.
But today the court was informed that no action had been taken.
