The statue is 5 ft. higher than the permitted height of 82 feet and causing obstruction to aircraft movement. The AAI will now await on the future course of action.<\/p>\n<p>Aviation authorities are keen to take corrective steps as the statue&#8217;s extra height has rendered only 3,083 yds. of the 4,680 yard-long runway usable. Aircraft have to land after clearing the statue, which means they glide over the runway for a while before actually touching down. <\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/delhi\/AAI-turns-to-DGCA-on-Shiva-Murti-as-trust-silent\/articleshow\/7381197.cms#ixzz1CQj4PPIe'>Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI, INDIA, January 28, 2011: The the Airports Authority of India (AAI) had asked, three months ago, that the,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9856","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9856","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9856"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9856\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
