After finding that the Airports Authority of India was sitting on a vigilance report alleging its officials of major irregularities in awarding ground handling projects in Chennai and Kolkata airports, the civil aviation ministry has started a review of all vigilance cases pending with its departments.
The key departments under the ministry are the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, Airports Authority of India (AAI), Pawan Hans Helicopters Limited and Air India Limited.
“After the alleged irregularities in the award of ground handling projects by the AAI, we decided to start the review. In this particular instance, we found that the case was pending with the authority for quite some time but it did not initiate any action against its officials,” said a senior civil aviation ministry official.
The official said that the ministry will review all the cases and will initiate suitable action against the ones involved, as it is believed that there would be many cases where action would not have been initiated.
