Kangana Ranaut’s IndiGo flight faced a lot of backlashes after media personnel barged into the aircraft.
Now, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation or DGCA – warned the airlines with a suspension of a flight for two weeks if anyone is found taking photographs in an aircraft against the govt-mandated rules.
As per a report by NDTV, the aviation regulator issued a statement today saying, “no person shall take any photograph except in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of a permission in writing granted by the Director General, a Joint Director General, a Deputy Director-General or the Director of Regulations and Information of the Civil Aviation Department.” The permission, however, is “not applicable when such aircraft is landing, taking off or on the ground at a defence aerodrome.”
“Such deviations result in compromise in maintaining the highest standards of safety,” the DGCA underlined in the statement.
Sources also mention that a report has been sought from IndiGo over alleged “violation of safety and social distancing protocol by media personnel on flight 6E-264“ after the DGCA spotted the media frenzy on videos.
Multiple videos emerged online wherein many media personnel were seen not following COVID-19 security protocols and endangering Ranaut’s fellow passengers.
