Parl panel calls for time-bound plan for DGCA’s full autonomy

The parliamentary standing committee on Transport Tourism and Culture in its safety review report on Wednesday recommended the government to have a time-bound plan to grant the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) full administrative and financial autonomy

The report read, “This is imperative to address critical technical staff shortages caused by an ineffective recruitment model, a problem highlighted by past expert committees but never resolved.”
