DGCA to train pilots to curb noise pollution

New Delhi: Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) will soon train pilots in new landing techniques, so that noise pollution could be minimised.
Appearing for DGCA, solicitor general (SG) Gopal Subramaniam told a division bench of the Delhi high court on Wednesday, “We are trying all measures to curb noise pollution in the vicinity of [Indira Gandhi International or IGI] airport, so that residents can feel at ease.”
The court was hearing a plea of Vasant Kunj residents seeking night curfew on landing of aircraft.
SG said, “..We are preparing a blueprint for curbing noise pollution keeping in mind global parameters and once the mechanism is in place, things will certainly change.”
