CT Ravi sends legal notice to KPCC spokesperson for alleging he had disproportionate assets
Mysuru: In the background of the KPCC Spokesperson M. Laxman’s allegations that Chikmagalur MLA and BJP National Secretary C. T. Ravi had amassed 400-500 acres of property under unknown names and that the MLA must be called ‘Looti’ Ravi for his indiscretions, MLA C.T Ravi reportedly issued a legal notice against M. Laxman.
The MLA is said to have issued the legal notice through his lawyer, which states that if M. Laxman does not issue an apology and withdraws the accusations within 48 hours of receiving the notice, a defamation lawsuit would be undertaken against the KPCC spokesperson.
“In a press conference conducted at Mysuru on April 20, it was claimed that ‘10 years ago, C.T Ravi possessed an asset of 19 acres 3. But now, including in Bengaluru, Chikmagalur, Hasan, Delhi, and other places he has amassed 400-500 acres of assets. Additionally, his brother-in-law Sudarshan has been given all contracts in Chikmagalur. The 360 crores contract for the Medical College was also granted to him’, similarly several such false accusations have been made against me. This should be proven, otherwise, a defamation lawsuit will be taken against you”, C.T Ravi’s legal notice to M. Laxman states.

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.
