The civic body in Bengaluru has lifted the curbs on sale and consumption of non-vegetarian food within 10 kilometers radius of the air station in Yelahanka, where the Aero India show is scheduled. The BBMP(Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike) also announced that stringent waste disposal methods will be followed around the air force station.

ast week, BBMP announced a ban on the sale and consumption of non-vegetarian items around Yelahanka air force station as the food waste might mitigate the bird activity around it ahead of the air show. After facing backlash from the residents and sellers, BBMP lifted the ban and urged them to be mindful of the waste disposal. Aero India-2023 show is scheduled to be held at Air force station Yelahanka from February 13 to February 17.

In November last year, the Defense Ministry’s Department of Defense Production announced India’s biennial airshow ‘Aero India’ – which is said to be Asia’s biggest airshow. The air show will be conducted for five days, whereas the first three days are reserved by the business visitors and the general public are allowed to experience the air show in the final two days.

In 2021, the airshow was restricted to three days due to Covid restrictions. This year, the airshow is expected to see a large crowd. The official website of the aero show also went live, months before the event.
