New Delhi, March 15

Dissatisfied with the initiatives taken by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) after the recent peeing incidents on flights, the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW), on Wednesday, forwarded some specific recommendations to the DGCA to prevent and tackle sexual harassment incidents on flights.

The DCW has sought the action-taken report from DGCA in the matter within 30 days.

“The commission has observed that these guidelines do not provide specific instructions to the airlines to properly handle, report and redress cases of sexual harassment of women passengers at the airport or on flights. Further, guidelines don’t (specifically) list out any steps to deal with highly intoxicated passengers,” DCW said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
