IndiGo cancels 60 flights from Bengaluru; CEO Piter Elbers to appear before DGCA
MUMBAI: Crisis-hit IndiGo cancelled 60 flights from Bengaluru Airport on Thursday, as safety watchdog DGCA tightened its scrutiny following large-scale disruptions in services on account of planning failures related to the implementation of new pilot and crew duty norms, a source said. IndiGo has cancelled 60 flights -- 32 arrivals and 28 departures from Bengaluru Airport, the source said. Meanwhile, IndiGo CEO Piter Elbers has been summoned by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to submit a comprehensive report, including data and updates, on the recent operational disruptions on Thursday. On Wednesday, IndiGo cancelled 220 flights from across three key airports -- Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai, with Delhi seeing the most cancellations at 137. On Wednesday, IndiGo Chairman Vikram Mehta spoke for the first time in 10 days about the crisis, apologising for the chaos and attributing the massive disruptions to a combination of internal and external unanticipated events. These include minor technical glitches, scheduled changes linked to the start of the Winter season, adverse weather conditions, increased congestion in the aviation system, and implementation of/ and operation under the updated crew rostering rules, Mehta said. It is significant to note here that other Indian carriers also faced these unanticipated external events , but their operations remained largely unaffected. It is pertinent to mention that, IndiGo has seen its pilots' strength depleting by 378 pilots in the last nine months despite its chief operating officer and Accountable Manager, Isidro Porqueras stating to the DGCA in a letter last December that he overall impact of implementing the proposed changes above (now-implemented FDTL) norms would amount to an approximate 3 per cent increase in crewing requirements. As per a reply in Parliament to a member's question earlier this year, IndiGo had employed 5,463 pilots as of March 20, 2025. However, as per data presented by Minister of State for Civil Aviation Murlidhar Mohol on December 8 in reply to a Member's question, IndiGo had employed 5,085 pilots. Keeping a tight watch on IndiGo's operations, the DGCA has decided to station its personnel at IndiGo's headquarters, as it steps up oversight on India's largest airline, which continues to cancel dozens of flights despite saying operations have stabilised. The DGCA has formed an oversight team of eight senior captains, and two of them, along with two government officials, will be stationed at IndiGo's Gurgaon headquarters to monitor cancellation status, crew deployment, unplanned leave, and routes hit by staff shortages. These teams will submit a daily report to the regulator, as per an order. Pilots' body Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) in the recent past alleged that while all other airlines have provisioned pilots adequately and remain largely unaffected due to timely planning and preparation, the current disruption at IndiGo was the direct consequence of the airline's prolonged and unorthodox lean manpower strategy across departments, particularly in flight operations. Despite the two-year preparatory window before full FDTL implementation, the airline inexplicably adopted a hiring freeze, entered non-poaching arrangements, maintained a pilot pay freeze through cartel-like behaviour, and demonstrated other short-sighted planning practices, it said.

Sights of inclusive opportunities at TCS Siruseri
Chennais caf culture has always had a heart. In a city where international brews, artisanal bakeries and neighbourhood cafs keep multiplying, spaces that centre purpose, building their own customer community. Eateries like the Museum Caf in Mylapore and Writers Caf in Taramani double as grounds for employment for differently abled individuals, paving paths to independent living. And now, tucked inside TCS Siruseri, Blind Bake Caf employs visually impaired chefs, who whisk, chop, and plate with an ease that challenges everything we assume about disability. As we walked in on Tuesday for the cafes launch, the kitchen had already set its rhythm. Muffins puffing in an oven that has braille symbols, French fries softening into mild crispiness, cold coffees lining up in rows and the air carrying the hum of a team settling into their inclusive kitchen. The chefs, trained by National Association for the Blind (NAB) India, move with an intuitive certainty, guided by tactile flooring, adapted techniques and months of preparation. Much of this learning traces back to the NAB India Centre for Blind Women in Delhi, where director Shalini Khanna Sodhi has spent over two decades building blind-friendly culinary training. When we started teaching them cooking, we could see that everybody learns, maybe a little slowly. Putting the lighter to the burner and handling the knife are the two main things which actually take a long time, she says. As the centre scaled, the team split the programme into two parallel streams. Not everybody is ready for baking, and not every baker is good at cooking, she says. Cooking basics take about three months; baking and beverages require another three. This training model powered their first large corporate caf in TCS Olympus campus, Mumbai. Speed was our main concern but slowly they learnt the rhythm, she recalls. Chennai, however, demanded a wider talent pool. Applicants came in from Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, some with basic cooking skills but many without prior exposure to large kitchens, but with determination. The team here includes six visually impaired chefs, four sighted supervisors, and one manager. For Vennila, working here marks her first experience outside her home state, Andhra Pradesh. I am feeling very happy, she says. At first it seemed difficult, but gradually it became easy. She hopes her parents will feel proud seeing her being independent. Today she handles the kitchen as one of the main chefs, mainly preparing rice, noodles, French fries and manchurian gravy with confidence and ease. Initially started just for women, the training, on request, extended for men as well. Naveen Kumar from Sivagangai arrived with almost no formal cooking experience. But he says that the three-month training helped him understand both preparation and pace. The hardest part initially, he says, was locating ingredients and equipment. He now handles with ease one of the scariest parts for everyone who steps into kitchens the knife. I think this is a matter of awareness and people should understand the importance of visual impairment, he says. Tactile tiles, bus service for daily commute and even sensitisation programmes were conducted by TCS for its employees to create a relaxed and inclusive workspace for the cafs team. Inside the campus, the team underwent a 10-12 day orientation mapping out the large kitchen, memorising storage, and visiting other cafs on campus to observe service speed. As blind people dont see faces, the smiles, the whole range of experiences, it takes them time, Shalini explains. By their soft launch on October 29, the chefs were ready. The caf now serves an 83-item vegetarian menu, including breakfast, lunch, beverages and desserts. Yet, the team wants to make more. Nithya, a sighted person and helper, who learns alongside the chefs, says, When I heard about it, I was surprised at how experienced the blind can be. They are very confident. When I see them, I feel confident and excited. Her role includes taking measurements and assisting only when required. For TCS, the caf is a reflection of its broader inclusion framework. Sudeep Kunnumal, chief human resources officer, says, Sensitisation cannot remain limited to training modules. They must be experienced in everyday ways that enable us to understand and appreciate diverse abilities. The Blind Bake Caf embodies this belief, offering our associates a space where inclusion and accessibility is lived and felt. Inside the caf, that foundation is already visible. As Shalini puts it, The whole table has been turned; where the visually impaired are providing the service and others are receiving it.

Maharashtra nears Maoist elimination as 11 top cadres surrender in Gadchiroli
MUMBAI: Maharashtra moves closer to eliminating the Maoist threat by March 2026 as 11 senior Maoist cadres, including four commanders with a combined bounty of Rs 82 lakh, surrendered before state police chief Rashmi Shukla in Gadchiroli. Among the surrendered leaders were divisional committee members Ramesh alias Baju Lekami and Bhima alias Kiran Hidma Kowasi. Lekami, associated with the movement since 2004, served as president of the Edasgondi Gaon Panchayat Janatana Sarkar before becoming a divisional committee member in Bhamragad. Kowasi joined the Maoist ranks in 1998 and became a divisional committee member in 2019. Gadchiroli police said the surrenders deliver a major blow to Maoists in the Dandakaranya region, spanning Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, and Telangana, marking one of the biggest successes since the surrender of Maoist Politburo member Bhupathi alias Mallojula Venugopal Rao in October, along with 60 others. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had handed over a copy of the Indian Constitution instead of weapons during that program. Police Chief Shukla described the fresh surrender as the beginning of the end of Maoism in Gadchiroli and reaffirmed the commitment to the Union governments March 31, 2026, deadline to eliminate the Left-wing insurgency. She said 112 Maoists have surrendered in Gadchiroli this year alone. The surrender ceremony at Eklavya Hall also saw officers and personnel of the elite C-60 anti-Naxal unit felicitated for operations in the remote Laheri forest, which led to 61 Maoists surrendering and the recovery of 54 firearms. Other surrendered Maoists included Poriye alias Lucky Adama Gota, Ratan alias Sanna Masu Oyam, Kamala alias Rago Iriya Veladi, Poriye alias Kumari Bhima Veladi, Ramaji alias Mura Lacchu Pungati, Sonu Podiyam alias Ajay Sanu Kato, Prakash alias Pandu Kundra Pungati, Sita alias Jaini Tonde Pallo, and Sainath Shankar Made. The surrenders follow intensified anti-Maoist operations across India, with security forces killing over 270 Maoists in the past year in Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Bihar, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. So far, more than 1,225 Maoists have surrendered, and 680, including top leaders, have been arrested. The killing of Maoist chief Nambala Kesava Rao, alias Basavaraju, on May 20, marked a major milestone in the fight against the insurgency. According to the Union government, the number of Left-Wing insurgency-affected districts has fallen from 18 in April to 11, signalling significant progress in curbing the movement.

Bombay HC questions absence of Ajit Pawars son from FIR in Pune land scam case
MUMBAI: The Bombay High Court on Wednesday questioned the absence of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawars son, Parth Pawar, from the FIR in the Pune land scam. Parth Pawar is linked to a 40-acre prime land deal in Pune. His firm, Amadea Enterprises LLP, purchased Mahar Watan land valued at around Rs 2,000 crore, allegedly securing a waiver of Rs 25 crore in stamp duty and registration fees by claiming plans to develop an IT hub. The massive transaction was executed on a Rs 500 stamp paper. During the hearing, the High Court expressed surprise that although the firm belonged to Parth Pawar, his name was not included in the FIR. Police have filed a case against six people and arrested two. Notably, Parths partner, Digvijay Patil, who holds a 10% stake in the firm, is named in the FIR, while Parth, who owns 90%, is not. Justice Madhav Jamdhar, hearing the bail plea of accused Sheetal Tejwani, asked why she approached the High Court when her application was pending before the Pune City Civil Court. The bench also asked the state-appointed public prosecutor whether this was the case involving the DCMs son. After confirmation, the judge pressed further, Why was Parth Pawars name missing from the FIR? Police said the investigation was ongoing. Expressing dissatisfaction, the bench directed Tejwanis lawyer to withdraw the bail plea immediately. Maharashtra Congress president Harshvardhan Sapkal said the High Court raised the same questions the Congress has been asking - why Parth Pawars name is missing from the FIR despite being the major owner of the firm involved. Social activist Anjali Damani, who is pursuing the case, demanded an FIR against Parth Pawar and urged Ajit Pawar to resign as DCM to enable a fair probe.
