In what can be termed as a move to remove the colonial influence prevailing in India, the government will soon change the registration codes of civilian aircraft that begin with the initials VT (Viceroy Territory).
“We are planning to take up the issue with the International Civil Aviation Organisation,” Aviation Secretary RN Choubey, told Hindustan Times.
All India-registered planes since 1929 have the VT code stamped on them. India was assigned the letters VT while it was still under British rule. It has been said that the code reminds of the British rule.
In May, BJP member Tarun Vijay in the Rajya Sabha, sought a change in the aircraft registration code during the Zero Hour.
He had then said, "Hindustan cannot be a territory of the Viceroy. Why India is continuing with VT code? VT should be changed right away." He had also demanded that an earlier decision of the government not to change the code should be amended.
