The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Wednesday made wearing of masks mandatory at airports and inside aircraft and ordered that passengers be termed “unruly” in case of non-compliance and dealt with accordingly.
The order comes after Delhi High Court on June 3 called for strict action against those found violating mask and hand hygiene norms at airports and in aircraft.
The aviation regulator said violators might be treated as “unruly passengers” and put on the no-fly list.
