APROPOS your editorial ‘Aviation security’ (June 26). With
aerial firing going on almost every day throughout the country, it is
surprising that until now, we have never had an aircraft being struck by
bullets.
Moreover,
as many people have pointed out after the Karachi airport saga, Peshawar
airport is uncomfortably close to residential areas and the city needs a new
airport at some distance from the city.
But
before that can be done, all areas around all airports in the country should be
made weapons-free, and the ban on aerial firing should be strictly enforced.
This
may appear to be a tall order, it is, however, essential for our safety.
