Directorate General of Civil Aviation forced to focus on safety

Mumbai: Now passengers can breathe a sigh of relief and feel a bit safer while flying the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has decided to induct at least 20 flight safety inspectors, whose mandate will be to conduct tests on and inspections of the aircraft. The move comes after the DGCA invited applications for hiring of over 200 staffers.
However, the aviation regulator is wary of hiring incompetent candidates. So, on their website, the DGCA mentions; “Canvassing by candidate in any manner is not permitted.” Out of the 20 vacancies, 10 were for senior flight inspectors, a DGCA official said. The selected
candidates will be hired on a one-year contract. “More vacancies will be announced in coming months,” said the official.
