Why did DGCA order Air India to remove 3 officials? Explained in 5 points
India's aviation safety watchdog Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has ordered Air India to remove three officials from all roles and responsibilities linked to rostering and crew scheduling after finding serious lapses. In an order dated June 20, the DGCA further asked the Tata Group-owned airline to initiate proceedings against these three officials without delay. Air India issued a statement following the order, saying that it had implemented the order of the aviation watchdog. 'In the interim, the company's Chief Operations Officer will provide direct oversight to the Integrated Operations Control Centre (IOCC). Air India is committed to ensuring that there is total adherence to safety protocols and standard practices,' Air India said. 1. The DGCA's order stated that it had found 'repeated and serious violations' in the scheduling of its crew. 'Repeated and serious violations voluntarily disclosed by Air India concerning flight crew being scheduled and operated despite lapses in licensing, rest, and recency requirements.' 2. The aviation watchdog further revealed that it found the violations during its post-transition review from ARMS to the CAE Flight and Crew Management System. Air India uses ARMS (Air Route Management System) software to execute a range of operational and management tasks like crew rostering, flight planning and more. 3. The DGCA in its order said the voluntary disclosures, 'while noted, point to systemic failures in crew scheduling, compliance monitoring, and internal accountability'. 4. The regulator noted that its 'particular concern is the absence of strict disciplinary measures against key officials directly responsible for these operational lapses.' 5. The DGCA flagged that the officials have performed 'serious and repeated lapses including unauthorised and non-compliant crew pairings, violation of mandatory licensing and recency norms and systemic failures in scheduling. protocol and oversight.' The aviation safety watchdog's latest order comes at a time when the carrier is facing heightened scrutiny in the aftermath of the June 12 Ahmedabad plane crash that killed 241 out of 242 on board and at least 29 residents of the building it crashed into. Air India also received a warning from the DGCA, which threatened 'strict actions' including licence suspension and operational restrictions if there are violations in crew scheduling in the future. A London-bound Air India flight, AI-171 carrying 242 passengers and crew members crashed in Ahmedabad on June 12. All but one on board the plane died along with nearly 29 on the ground when the aircraft smashed into a medical complex shortly after take-off.

India's civil aviation regulator has pulled up Air India for serious and repeated violations of crew safety norms, ordering the removal of three senior officials, head of crew rostering, from their positions in the airline's scheduling department. The aviation watchdog has asked the Tata Group-owned airline to initiate internal disciplinary proceedings against these officials without delay. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation ( DGCA ) has identified Choorah Singh, Divisional Vice President, Pinky Mittal, Chief Manager - DOPS, Crew Scheduling, and Payal Arora, Crew Scheduling - Planning directly, responsible for the continued non-compliance. The action comes after Air India voluntarily disclosed that flight crew were being scheduled and operated in violation of licensing, flight duty time, and rest period regulations, key requirements for flight safety. DGCA, in a letter issued on June 20, said the violations were uncovered during a post-transition audit following the airline's shift from the ARMS platform to the CAE Flight and Crew Management System. A long-haul Bangalore to London flight saw pilots operating beyond their legally permissible flight duty hours, breaching the prescribed safety limits. Live Events (More to come)

Khatipura residents live amid rubble after JDA demolition drive
1 2 Jaipur: In a display of administrative negligence, residents along the General Sagat Singh Marg, Khatipura Tiraha and Sirsi Road are grappling with a man-made disaster more than a month after the Jaipur Development Authority's (JDA) anti-encroachment drive. The drive, conducted in May, targeted illegal roadside shops and houses. The demolition was intended at road widening but the left debris has transformed the area into a civic catastrophe. Broken structures, blocked drainage systems and wasted water have become daily reminders of the authorities' failure to complete what they started. The crisis has forced residents to dig into their own pockets, with each household contributing Rs 500 for partial debris removal. "We couldn't wait for the authorities any longer with monsoon approaching," says Ratan Lal, 56, a frustrated resident who has witnessed his neighbourhood transform into a waterlogged mess during recent rains. The haphazard execution has left the main drainage line clogged with rubble, creating a potential public health hazard. Adding to the woes, the demolition was allegedly carried out without disconnecting water connections, resulting in continuous wastage of precious drinking water resources. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 5 Dividend Stocks with Growth Potential Seeking Alpha Read Now Undo "We're watching clean water go down the drain daily in a city where some colonies struggle to get tanker supplies," says Suresh Kumar Mitharwal, a local lawyer, highlighting the irony of the situation. JDA site engineer Nishant Khandelwal attributed the delay in debris removal to safety concerns and partial demolitions, explaining that residents had pledged to clear encroachments themselves. DIG enforcement at JDA, Kailash Bishnoi said that the authority was "working to resolve the issue," though no specific timeline was provided. This debacle exposes an unplanned urban development and bureaucratic apathy.
