If there is anything, other than obstacles necessary for air navigation (ILS GP, PAPI, signs etc) within 150 metres of the runway centreline, the runway is not ICAO Annex 14 compliant for an Instrument-Precision runway.

If the Airport Operator or DGCA are not immediately going to do something to make it compliant, the runway should be downgraded to a Non-Instrument Runway (which reduces the Strip width to 75 metres) and instrument approach minima raised to the Circling Minima.

Alternatively, DGCA India admits to ICAO (and the outside world) that they have a Difference from Annex 14 Runway Strip dimensions, and take their chances as to the reaction of airlines and their insurers.
