Topless wonders

Are there no capable babus to head the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA)? The government is now considering relaxing the eligibility criteria in the hope of a better response. This sounds all too familiar, since there’s a similar situation at the National Highway Authority of India. Although the civil aviation ministry received six applications, none of the candidates could meet the basic criteria. The age limit is also posing a problem. Meanwhile, since December last year, the DGCA is being run by an additional secretary-ranked IAS officer, E.K. Bharat Bhushan. Hopefully, someone somewhere within the bureaucratic mountain will realise the need to speed up the appointment.
