Queues thin at Chennai International Airport; IndiGo cancels 71 flights
CHENNAI: After nearly a week of chaos, the thinning of queues outside IndiGo counters at Chennai International Airport, that began on Sunday, continued on Monday as well, and flight operations showed further signs of normalisation. Cancellations, however, still remained high. The airline cancelled 71 flights throughout the day - 38 departures and 33 arrivals. On Sunday, the airline had cancelled a total of 91 flights at Chennai airport, including 49 arrivals and 42 departures.

For some, there was relief after IndiGo officials confirmed a few of the previously cancelled services would operate as scheduled. Abul Basan, an employee at Pullman Hotel in Chennai, told TNIE that he had visited the airport to check the status of his flight from Chennai to Kolkata, with a connecting service to Agartala. The IndiGo official at the counter told me the flight will operate as per schedule, he said. Inbound services linking Chennai with Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata and Hyderabad were impacted. Delhi emerged as the worst-hit route, accounting for nearly half of the cancelled departures, followed by Kolkata, Bengaluru and Mumbai.

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to hear on January 22, next year, a petition filed by ISKCON India seeking review of its earlier May 16 verdict holding that the Hare Krishna temple in Bengaluru belongs to ISKCON Society of the city. A three-judge bench of the apex court, headed by Justice M M Sundresh, and also comprising Justices Prashant Kumar Mishra and Satish Chandra Sharma, issued notice to ISKCON Bangalore, and decided to review the May 16 verdict on January 22, 2026. While admitting the review petition filed by ISKCON India and other similar petitions for hearing in the ongoing dispute, the apex court sought the response of the Bengaluru faction of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and other parties in the ongoing dispute. List the matter on 22.01.2026 at 3:00pm for directions, only for the purpose of ensuring that notices have been served on all the respondents. We further make it clear that on the date to be fixed for hearing, the question of review jurisdiction as well as issues on merits will be heard and considered, said, the apex court in its December 3, order, accessed by the TNIE . It also added that the applications for listing Review Petitions in open Court and for oral hearing are allowed.

It is to he noted that the top court on May 16 had set aside the Karnataka High Courts May 2011 order giving control of the Bengaluru temple to the Mumbai faction of ISKCON. On October 28, the over 25-year-old legal dispute between Mumbai and Bengaluru factions of ISKCON over control of the Bengaluru temple was revived after a two-judge bench of the apex court delivered a split decision on the review plea of ISKCON India seeking review of the May 16 verdict. While Justice JK Maheshwari found substance in the plea of ISKCON India and agreed to hear the matter in open court, Justice AG Masih dismissed the review petitions filed in the matter saying there is no error apparent on the face of record or any merit in the Review Petitions warranting reconsideration of the May 16 judgment. Following this, the matter was placed before the Chief Justice of India for constituting a larger bench and a three-judge bench was formed to consider the multiple review petitions filed in the case.

Bun maska-chai: The viral combo sweeping Kerala
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Yummy butter spread between a tasty bun, dipped in hot tea this simple combination has endeared itself to Keralites. Originally from the Irani cafes of Mumbai, the dish is trending all over Kerala, with food vloggers making it the talk of the town. And the origin of this sudden craze for bun maska in the state could be traced to a couple from Kochi The Chai Couple and what they call their single-minded decision. When Saran Dileep and Sreelekshmi T S decided to return from abroad and choose and pursue a passion in Kochi, they were unsure about where to start. An avid tea lover, Sreelekshmi felt there should be a place that answers an everyday question: Where can we get good chai? That thought grew: What if we add some snacks, but not the usual oily ones? Overnight, the duo bought some charts, took a table from their house and borrowed their grandmothers flask. The next morning, they were ready in front of the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kaloor, armed with a limited number of buns and some tea. The Chai Couple Cafe, and the viral bun maska-chai combo, took off. Instead of beginning a fully-fledged shop, we thought of experimenting, to see if people like what we offer, said Saran. Maintaining that the dish is their version of bun maska, he said never in their dreams did the two think it would become a statewide trend. Terming it a result of both word of mouth promotion and support of food vloggers, Saran commented they are happy to see the dish going viral. Our confidence is in our customers, said Sreelekshmi, adding that many, including their first-ever tea customer, return to their food spot. One of our customers is even developing our new token system, she said, adding that they have always been keen on not compromising on quality. Food vloggers across the state say the bun maska-tea combo has gone viral. Niyadh Basheer (@foodencyclopediatrivandrum) said the key complaint he hears from foodies is the dish being out of stock. There are shops open till 2am, selling bun maska and tea in Thiruvananthapuram. Techies have taken over spaces in the Technopark side, where they sell bun maska, he said, adding that the capital citys thattukada culture has boosted peoples love for the dish. Devayani S Thilakan (@toastory) says the affordable nature of the dish has made it attractive for college students in Kozhikode. We commonly see students who are visiting the beach, gathering at shops selling the items, she said.

DGCA panel probing IndiGo flight disruptions likely to summon CEO, COO on December 10: Source
MUMBAI: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation-appointed panel investigating the flight disruptions at IndiGo is likely to summon the airline's CEO Pieter Elbers and Chief Operating Officer Isidre Porqueras on Wednesday as part of the ongoing probe, according to a source on Monday. The four-member panel, comprising Joint DG Sanjay Brahamane, Deputy Director General Amit Guupta, senior Flight Operations Inspector Kapil Manglik, and FOI Lokesh Rampal, has been tasked with identifying the root causes of widespread operational disruptions. Its mandate includes assessing manpower planning, fluctuating rostering systems, and the airline's preparedness to implement the latest duty period and rest norms for pilots. The panel, announced by Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) Faiz Ahmed Kidwai on December 5, will also review the extent of compliance with the revised FDTL provisions, including analysis of gaps admitted by the airline and ascertain the accountability and responsibility for planning failures that led to the breakdown of operational stability, among others. The panel is likely to summon IndiGo Chief Executive Officer Pieter Elbers and Chief Operating Officer Isidre Porqueras on Wednesday as part of the ongoing probe into the disruption of the airline's flight services at such a scale, a source told PTI here. Is IndiGo too big to fail? And what about lack of pilots leading to the flight chaos theory? IndiGo had last Friday, when it cancelled 1,600 flights of its total 2,300 daily flights, told DGCA that he operational challenges mainly erupted due to revised phase-2 Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) and that it could adequately anticipated, crew planning and rostering preparedness were insufficient in widespread disruption. The committee has been told to submit its report within 15 days. Besides this, DGCA has already issued show cause notices to both Elbers and Porqueras over the ongoing disruptions in the airline's operations. They have been asked to submit their replies to these show cause notices by 6 pm on Monday. The new norms, applicable to all domestic carriers, have come into force in two phases - July 1 and November 1 this year. IndiGo has already temporarily secured major relaxations in the second phase norms till February 10. The latest FDTL norms, which entail increased weekly rest periods to 48 hours, extended night hours, and limiting the number of night landings to only two against six earlier, were initially opposed by domestic airlines, including IndiGo and Tata Group-owned Air India. But they were subsequently rolled out by the DGCA following the Delhi High Court's directives, albeit with a delay of over one year, in a phased manner, and with certain variations for airlines like IndiGo and Air India. The norms were originally to be put in place from March 2024, but airlines, including IndiGo, sought a step-by-step implementation, citing additional crew requirements.
