  "account": "The city of Karachi has implemented new regulations aimed at reducing bird-related risks near Jinnah International Airport. During a meeting chaired by Karachi Commissioner Syed Hassan Naqvi, restrictions were imposed on hotels and wedding halls within a four-kilometer area surrounding the airport. The primary concern is the potential for food waste and garbage to attract birds, which could pose a danger during takeoff and landing. Around 25 to 30 establishments in the vicinity were identified as possible sources of waste. To comply with the new rules, these hotels and wedding halls must enhance their waste management systems, hire sanitation staff, package discarded food and garbage in plastic bags, and transport it to approved disposal sites. Additionally, steps are being considered to prevent kites and birds from congregating in the area during nighttime and early morning hours. Deputy commissioners from Malir and Korangi districts have been instructed to provide a detailed report within three weeks outlining further measures to minimize bird strikes. The decision follows a review of aviation safety within the specified zone around the airport.",
