Aviation regulator DGCA starts audit at Air India's main base in Gurugram
Aviation regulator DGCA on Monday commenced the detailed audit at Air India's main base in Gurugram that will cover operations, flight scheduling, rostering and various other areas, according to a source. The Tata Group-owned airline has come under intense scrutiny after its London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner plane crashed soon after take-off in Ahmedabad on June 12, killing 270 people, including 241 people onboard. An eight-member team from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has started the annual audit of Air India's main base. Generally, a three-member team carries out the yearly audit, the source said. "DGCA has started the audit at Air India's main base at Gurugram. The annual exercise will cover all aspects, including operations, flight planning, scheduling, rostering and IOCC (Integrated Operations Control Centre)," the source said. Air India is headquartered in Gurugam, Haryana. The audit exercise also comes at a time when the regulator has taken action against some Air India officials for repeated safety lapses. On June 21, DGCA sought details on the airline's planned and unplanned inspections, audit, cockpit/en route, station facility, ramp and cabin inspection, among others, from its flight operations inspectors since 2024. The communication was sent out a day after the regulator issued a show-cause notice to the airline for Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) violation and also ordered the removal of the airline's three senior officials from their respective roles for certain lapses. Meanwhile, DGCA has also put in place a new framework for comprehensive special audits to generate a 360-degree evaluation of the aviation ecosystem, reflecting both its strengths and areas needing improvement. These special audits will be over and above the regulatory audits carried out as per the Annual Surveillance Programme.

Delhi's new flood control system set to go ‘radio' active
New Delhi: To better tackle flooding along the Yamuna and major city drains, Delhi govt will set up wireless base camps equipped with modern communication tools for real-time coordination during the monsoon season. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Officials said the latest communication equipment will be installed, and trained personnel will operate these camps to ensure smooth interaction among field officials and with the Integrated Command and Control Centre. "We will get IP68 waterproof equipment of military standard with an optional facility of video transmission. The vendor will also provide 24x7 online technical support during the deployment of the equipment and the operators," said a senior official. The move comes after severe flooding in 2023 and waterlogging in 2024, despite the Yamuna remaining below danger levels last year. Clogged drains caused by garbage and silt contributed to heavy waterlogging in many areas. In response, the Delhi government has launched a major drive to clean drains and upgrade flood response infrastructure. This year, the irrigation and flood control department will deploy 117 handheld radio sets and 64 fixed base radio sets using 'push-to-talk over cellular' (PoC) technology based on IoT connectivity. Over 6,800 personnel will be deployed in three eight-hour shifts to manage and maintain the wireless stations. "The system would be capable of providing communication in the entire Delhi-NCR. It will have an adequate number of voice channels for multiple talk-groups and the possibility of several simultaneous private conversations at any point in time," the official added. The devices will also support broadcast calls and call alerts. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Key locations for these communication stations include the central flood control room, Palla, Jhangola, and Jagatpur along the Yamuna, as well as sites near the Najafgarh and supplementary drains. The monsoon typically arrives in Delhi in the last week of June, with pre-monsoon showers beginning mid-June and continuing till mid-September. The surge in the level of the Yamuna depends on the quantity of water released from the Hathnikund barrage, which is about 230 km north of the capital.
