DGCA not to renew contract of its CFOI amid salary controversy
Aviation watchdog Directorate General of Civil aviation (DGCA) has decided not to renew the contract of its Chief Flight Operations Inspector (CFOI), Atul Chandra, whose current tenure ends on 30 June, a senior DGCA official said.
Chandra, who was earlier with the national carrier Air India Ltd. till 2017, has been accused of drawing salaries from the airline while being on DGCA payroll.
“As you are aware, his present engagement with the DGCA is coming to an end on the 30th of June 2020. After considerable deliberations, we have decided to part ways as some recent developments (not connected with DGCA and actually related to his original employer Air India) has made his situation with DGCA untenable,” the senior DGCA official said requesting anonymity.
