Government orders review of VIP flying rules after Baramati crash

Baramati crash ke baad jaagi sarkar, ab VIP flying ke purane 'jugaad' nahi chalenge Jab tak koi bada hadsa nahi hota, hamara system aksar gehri neend mein sota rehta hai. Baramati mein pichle mahine jo dardnaak plane crash hua, jisme Maharashtra ke Deputy CM Ajit Pawar samet 5 logon ki jaan chali gayi, usne aviation sector ki pol khol di hai. Ab jaakar sarkar ko hosh aaya hai aur VIP air travel ke poore system ko 'review' karne ka order diya gaya hai.

Sirf paperwork se kaam nahi chalega

Hindustan Times ki report ke mutabiq, DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) ne ab un sabhi companies ka audit shuru kar diya hai jo charter planes aur helicopters chalati hain. VSR Ventures, jinka Learjet 45 crash hua tha, wo toh scanner par hai hi, par ab baaki operators ki bhi class lagne wali hai. Ab tak hota ye tha ki zyada focus sirf documents aur certifications par rehta tha. Par experts ka kehna hai ki asli khatra ground par hai—jaise engine ki condition, maintenance ka asli record, aur pilots ki fatigue. In sab cheezon par nazar rakhne ka koi solid system filhaal nahi dikhta.

Khatarnak 'Weather Minima' aur chhote airports ka risk

Is poore maamle mein ek bahut bada point nikal kar aaya hai: **Weather Minima**. Asal mein, kai baar VIPs ko jaldi pahunchane ke chakkar mein ya election pressure ki wajah se, pilots kharab weather mein bhi landing ki koshish karte hain.

• Chhote aur uncontrolled airports par aksar ATC (Air Traffic Control) nahi hota.
• Wahan landing ke liye kam se kam 5km ki visibility chahiye hoti hai.
• Investigation mein pata chala hai ki kai baar pilots limit se kam visibility mein bhi plane utaar dete hain, jo seedha-seedha maut ko dawat dena hai.

Is news ka asli matlab kya hai?

Dekha jaye toh ye sirf ek 'policy review' nahi hai, balki ek reality check hai. India mein business jets aur charter planes ki sankhya 400 ke paar nikal chuki hai aur ye sector 20% ki raftar se badh raha hai. Par kya hamari safety rules is speed ke saath match kar pa rahi hain? Sach toh ye hai ki jab tak koi bada neta involve na ho, aise safety breaches par koi baat nahi karta. Ajit Pawar jaise bade naam ke crash mein shaamil hone ki wajah se aaj ye 'structural reset' ki baatein ho rahi hain. Agar ye review sakhti se implement hua, toh shayad aage chalkar pilots par se 'VIP pressure' kam ho sake.

Aage kya hoga?

Sarkar ne ab Air Safety Circulars ko update karne ki taiyari kar li hai. Agar koi company rules todti hai, toh unka licence cancel ho sakta hai aur pilots ko ground kiya ja sakta hai. Par sawal wahi hai—kya ye rules sirf kagazo tak rahenge ya phir agle election season mein phir se wahi 'chalta hai' wala attitude dikhega? Aviation safety mein 'jugaad' ki koi jagah nahi honi chahiye, chahe plane mein koi aam aadmi ho ya desh ka bada neta.
