New Delhi: The ever-growing air traffic in India seems to have made the sky here a risky place to be in.
The past three years have seen two aircraft come dangerously close to each other as many as 65 times. And the reasons for these close shaves are even scarier, ranging from confusion caused by similar call signs of flights to radar failure and fatigue!
Disclosing this in a reply to Lok Sabha on Wednesday, civil aviation minister Ajit Singh said a number of corrective steps have been taken to "avert recurrence of such incidents" in future.
