DGCA issues additional safety guidelines for Air India's Boeing 787
New Delhi, June 13 (UNI) In the wake of air crash involving Boeing Dreamliner 787, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Friday issued guidelines to Air India for additional safety inspections and measures to be carried out before the operation and maintenance of the aircraft.
In an order issued here, the aviation regulator stated that an Air India Boeing 787-8 aircraft operating flight AI-171 (Ahmedabad to Gatwick) met with an accident on Thursday. As a preventive measure, the DGCA has directed Air India to carry out additional maintenance actions on Boeing 787-8/9 aircraft equipped with Genx engines, in coordination with the concerned regional DGCA offices.
These measures will come into effect from June 15, the order said.
The DGCA stated that, as part of aircraft maintenance and pre-flight drills, inspections must be carried out for fuel parameter monitoring and related system checks, cabin air compressor and associated systems, electronic engine control system testing, engine fuel-driven actuator operation testing, oil system inspection, and serviceability checks of the hydraulic system.
In addition, a review of the flight readiness parameters should be conducted, and a 'flight control inspection' must be included in the transit checks until further notice.
A power assurance check should be carried out within two weeks, and maintenance actions on Boeing 787-8/9 aircraft must be ensured at the earliest based on a review of recurring faults observed over the past 15 days.
The DGCA stated that the complete report of the above-mentioned inspections must be submitted to the DGCA for review.

Nandi Hills gears up for cabinet meet, major decisions likely
Chikkaballapur, June 14 (UNI) The Karnataka Cabinet is set to convene atop the iconic Nandi Hills on June 19, with a major announcement on a Rs 150 crore fully government-funded international flower market expected to headline the meeting, giving a significant boost to Chikkaballapur district's agrarian economy. The market, long demanded by local stakeholders, is being developed without a public-private partnership, signalling direct State investment in strengthening the district's renowned flower and vegetable trade. 'The government has agreed to invest the full amount, and the announcement is likely to be made during the Cabinet session,' local MLA Pradeep Eshwar said. In preparation for the high-profile meet, Nandi Hills is undergoing a major facelift. From road repairs to ornamental landscaping, officials from the Public Works and Horticulture Departments are overseeing intensive civic work. The venue — the Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation's (KSTDC) Mayura Pine Top restaurant — is being spruced up with new air-conditioning, upgraded restrooms, and boosted Wi-Fi bandwidth to support live streaming of the proceedings. 'This will be a milestone for KSTDC,' said Mayura Pine Top manager Manoj Kumar, adding that infrastructure upgrades were in full swing. The Cabinet hall, offering sweeping views of Chikkaballapur, will house Ministers, while separate arrangements are being made for supporting staff and officials. In view of the meeting, public access to Nandi Hills will be restricted from 6 pm on June 16 to 5 am on June 20. Officials also said that proposals under consideration include increasing the Jakkalamadagu reservoir's capacity, giving final approval for the Nandi Hills ropeway project, and recommending the historic Bhoga Nandishwara temple for UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
