RTI
CIC seeks monitoring of aviation schools
NEW DELHI: The Central Information Commission has expressed concern over the security risks involving flying schools and has stressed on the need to monitor them. In two recent orders, the CIC has underlined the need for public disclosures and transparency in such schools.
"Keeping in view the expertise, inherent risks in flying exercises and all unfortunate incidents resulting in loss of life during flying training in the past, the Commission is sensitised towards the operation, management and monitoring of such flying schools. The commission is indeed deeply concerned ... and is of the view that certain public disclosures are essential," Bimal Julka, information commissioner, said in his order.
The observations are related to the Gujarat Flying Club and the Bombay Flying Club, but have also been marked to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, ministries of civil aviation and social justice and empowerment.
They are in response to two separate RTI applications filed by Delhi-based Jai Bhagwan Jatav from Rashtriya Shoshit Parishad. Jatav had sought information on funds received by the Gujarat and Bombay flying clubs, the number of SC/ST candidates who received scholarship and funds received under the central sector scholarship scheme.
