New Delhi: News Anchor Sudhir Chaudhary on Friday said both Rishabh Pant – who met a road accident today- and Cyrus Mistry who was killed in a fatal road accident earlier this year were at fault in their respective road accidents.

Sudhir took to his Twitter handle and raised questions including how the latest model vehicle caught fire after the road mishap and suggested that a driver should have been driving Rishabh Pant’s car.

He also blamed the cricketer for over-speeding his vehicle adding that it eventually led to the road accident.

In the tweet, Sudhir wrote, “*The car was over-speeding *Rishabh was driving himself (A driver should’ve been there *It was the latest car, how did it catch fire?”

“After Cyrus Mistry, this is the second road accident that involved a highway, over-speeding, an expensive car, and their own fault.” Sudhir further wrote in his tweet.

Social media users who took note of Sudhir’s tweet slammed the news anchor adding while the whole country was praying for the well-being of the young cricketer Sudhir was trying to point out mistakes and trigger controversy with such remarks.

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.
