New Delhi: All airlines have been directed not to carry out any disinfectant or insecticide fumigation with passengers onboard as it could effect fliers’ health.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued a directive to the airlines following a National Green Tribunal order in this regard.
This was conveyed to Senior BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy, who had taken up the issue of such spraying by the airlines with passengers onboard to the Civil Aviation Ministry and sought an end to the practice.
“The Minister of state for Civil Aviation Mahesh Sharma has now informed me that such spraying is henceforth prohibited on all international and domestic airlines operating in and out of India,” Swamy said in a statement today.
