NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha on Monday raised alarm over the state of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), alleging that the aviation regulator is "cracking under pressure" due to severe understaffing, underfunding, and lack of autonomy.
Speaking in the Rajya Sabha during the Monsoon Session, Chadha termed the situation within the DGCA a "crisis", highlighting that 55 per cent of technical posts remain vacant in 2024.
