Adityanath flags off 100 motorcycles for 'UP-100' service
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday flagged off 100 motorcycles for the 'UP-100' service, officials said.
This is the first lot of a total of 1,600 two-wheelers which will be provided to the police in due course of time, an official said.
The motorcycles have mobile data terminal (MDT) on which they will get instructions from the headquarters. That will enable the police personnel to reach the callers' destination directly.
Besides, the two-wheelers are also equipped with LED lights, sirens, Public Address (PA) system, crime scene kit, utility box, helmet, torch, mobile charging point, bottle holder and other facilities.
Adityanath also directed police officials to ensure they promptly respond to distress calls, try to reach the scene of the crime quickly and reduce the response time to 10 minutes.
He also asked the police personnel involved in the 'UP-100' service to be people-friendly.

Regulator DGCA eases flight duty norms for pilots amid IndiGo crisis
Mumbai (PTI): Aviation watchdog DGCA on Friday eased the flight duty norms by allowing substitution of leaves with a weekly rest period amid massive operational disruptions at IndiGo, according to sources.
As per the revised Flight Duty Time Limitations (FDTL) norms, "no leave shall be substituted for weekly rest", which means that weekly rest period and leaves are to be treated separately. The clause was part of efforts to address fatigue issues among the pilots.
Citing IndiGo flight disruptions, sources told PTI that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has decided to withdraw the provision 'no leave shall be substituted for weekly rest' from the FDTL norms.

"In view of the ongoing operational disruptions and representations received from various airlines regarding the need to ensure continuity and stability of operations, it has been considered necessary to review the said provision," DGCA said in a communication dated December 5.
The gaps in planning ahead of the implementation of the revised FDTL, the second phase of which came into force from November 1, have resulted in crew shortage at IndiGo and is one of the key reasons for the current disruptions.
