Will suspend flight for 2 weeks if anyone is found doing photography inside it: DGCA

Aviation regulator DGCA on Saturday said a scheduled flight will be suspended for a period of two weeks if anyone is found doing photography inside it. Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) asked IndiGo on Friday to take "appropriate action" after regulator found an alleged violation of safety and social distancing protocols by media persons in airline's Chandigarh-Mumbai flight that had actor Kangana Ranaut as a passenger. 

According to a video of incident that took place inside Wednesday's flight, reporters and cameramen were jostling and bunching up to get a comment from Ranaut, who was sitting in one of front rows of plane.

DGCA order on Saturday said, "It has been decided that from w on, incase any violation (photography) occurs on any scheduled passenger aircraft - schedule of flight for that particular route shall be suspended for a period of two weeks from next day (of incident)."
