BJP MP Varun Gandhi, who has, in recent days, been openly critical of his party’s government at the Centre, on Friday said that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) should act tough on repeated incidents of mid-air snags, adding that such incidents are taking place at a time when passengers are already facing inconvenience due to exorbitantly high airfares.
“At a time when fares of domestic flights have nearly doubled, we are seeing daily reports of planes being forced to make emergency landing due to technical issues. It is of great concern that just in the last two months, as many as 17 flights were affected,” Gandhi wrote on Twitter.
“DGCA will have to take some strict action…are we waiting for a major tragedy?” the BJP MP from Pilibhit added, urging the aviation regulator to act tough.
