DGCA should have dedicated vigilance officer, says CVC

New Delhi: Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the aviation regulator plagued by rampant corruption and malpractices, should have a dedicated chief vigilance officer, the Central Vigilance Commission told the ministry of civil aviation a few days ago. CVC also decried the ministry's decision to appoint an IAS officer as both the chief vigilance officer (CVO) of DGCA as well as the chief executive of Pawan Hans.
In the wake of CVC objection, the ministry moved out the IAS officer from DGCA last week, leaving the aviation regulator without a vigilance officer, when almost two dozen of its senior officials are facing disciplinary proceedings.
