Review guidelines on face masks on flights, says Delhi HC to DGCA
The Delhi High Court on Monday said the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) should review its guidelines for face masks on flights in compliance with the Centre’s instructions according to the Covid situation, saying it is not the court’s job to issue directions on the subject to the aviation watchdog.
“We are not experts on the subject. The government of India and ICMR is… The DGCA will look into this and pass appropriate orders,” a division bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad said.
The court was dealing with a suo motu plea pertaining to violations of social distancing norms and Covid protocols by passengers at airports.
