The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has announced the relocation of the Mumbai airport's high-frequency radar from Dahisar to Gorai, a move approved by the Union Minister for Civil Aviation, according to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

This strategic relocation is expected to pave the way for redeveloping the Dahisar area, which could significantly impact the region's urban landscape ahead of the civic elections.
