IndiGo cancels over 220 flights in Delhi, Mumbai as parent company forms crisis-monitoring group
IndiGo cancelled more than 220 flights at Delhi and Mumbai airports on Sunday as disruptions stretched into a sixth day, even as efforts continued to restore normal operations. The airlines schedule chaos over the past few days has led to hundreds of cancellations and delays, affecting thousands of passengers. Sources said at least 112 flights were cancelled at Mumbai airport and 109 at Delhi. On Friday, IndiGo cancelled about 1,600 of its 2,300 daily flights. Disruptions eased slightly on Saturday, with cancellations dropping to around 800 , according to sources. The airline said it operated 1,500 flights on Saturday. Meanwhile, IndiGo's parent company InterGlobe Aviation announced that it has set up a crisis management group to monitor the situation. Board of InterGlobe Aviation doing everything possible to ensure refunds for cancellations, IndiGo said in a statement. IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers and COO and Accountable Manager Porqueras on Saturday received DGCA notices, seeking explanations within 24 hours on the massive flight disruptions. The main objective (of operating just 700 flights on Friday) was to reboot the network, systems, and rosters so that we could start afresh today (Saturday) with higher number of flights, improved stability, and there are some early signs of improvement, IndiGo had said in a statement. Is IndiGo too big to fail? And what about lack of pilots leading to the flight chaos theory? In the notices sent to Elbers and Porqueras, the regulator said the large-scale operational failures indicate significant lapses in planning, oversight and resource management. The notices mentioned that the primary cause of the flight disruptions is non-provisioning of adequate arrangements to cater to the revised requirements for smooth implementation of the approved FDTL (Flight Duty Time Limitations) scheme for the airline. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has asked Elbers and Porqueras to reply within 24 hours. At the same time, government sources on Saturday said that authorities will take appropriate action in the matter of IndiGo flight disruptions, depending on the inquiry committee findings. As flight disruptions continued for the fifth straight day, Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu, along with senior civil aviation ministry officials, held a serious meeting with Elbers to review the situation and address the issues, an official said. The meeting, held in the national capital on Saturday, was attended by Civil Aviation Secretary Samir Kumar Sinha and DGCA chief Faiz Ahmed Kidwai, among others. At the meeting, the IndiGo CEO was also asked to ensure that the airline complies with the new FDTL within a given timeframe. Official sources said that the immediate priority is to restore normalcy in flight operations and the airline has been asked to ensure prompt refund of tickets. There have been reports that the authorities might take strong action against the airline and its CEO.

Faced criticism from my own community for advocating creamy layer principle: Ex-CJI Gavai
MUMBAI : Former Chief Justice of India B R Gavai on Saturday said he faced criticism from his own community for stating in a judgement that the creamy layer principle should be applied to reservation for the Scheduled Castes. In Dr B R Ambedkar's view, affirmative action was like providing a bicycle to someone who is lagging behind, he said, asking whether Ambedkar thought that such a person should never give up the bicycle. Ambedkar did not think so, he claimed. Gavai, who retired as CJI recently, was delivering a lecture on Role of Affirmative Action in Promoting Equal Opportunity at Mumbai University. Paying tributes to Ambedkar on his death anniversary, Gavai said the iconic leader was the architect of not only the Indian Constitution but also of the affirmative action enshrined in it. Babasaheb, in so far affirmative action is concerned, was of view that it is like providing a cycle to those who are lagging behind. Suppose somebody is at tenth km and somebody at zero, he (the latter) should be provided a cycle, so that he reaches faster till the tenth km. From there, he joins the person who is already there and walks along with him. Did he (Ambedkar) think that the person should not leave the cycle and carry forward and thereby ask the people who are at zero km to continue to be there? the former CJI asked. In my view, that was not the vision of social and economic justice as contemplated by Babasaheb Ambedkar.He wanted to bring social and economic justice in the real sense and not in formal sense, he added. The Indra Sawhney and Others Vs Union of India case enunciated the creamy layer principle, and in another case, he himself held that creamy layer should also be made applicable to the Scheduled Castes, said Gavai. The principle demands that those who are sufficiently advanced economically and socially should not get the benefit of affirmative action even though they are members of the backward community for which it is meant. He was widely criticized by the people of his own community for this judgement, Gavai said, adding that he was accused of taking benefit of reservation himself to become a Supreme Court judge and then advocating the exclusion of those who fell in the creamy layer. But these people did not even know that there is no reservation for the constitutional office of High Court or Supreme Court judge, Gavai said. Can applying the same yardstick to the son of a chief justice of India or chief secretary and the son of a labourer who has studied in a gram panchayat school satisfy the test of equality as enshrined in the Constitution, he asked. Gavai, however, emphasized that in the last 75 years o doubt affirmative action has played a positive role. I have traveled across the country, traveled across the world, I have seen many people belonging to the Scheduled Caste becoming chief secretary or director general of police or ambassadors and high commissioners, he said. Maharashtra is a land of social reformers, and the egion can truly be described as the birthplace of the idea of modern India, Gavai said. We are all aware about Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule's pioneering work in eradication of inequalities in the society, he said. When women were among most oppressed in society, it was the Phule couple who opened the door of education for them, he noted.
