Govt makes real-time tracking of planes must

Exactly two months after a Malaysia Airlines’ aircraft (MH 370) went missing, India has made it mandatory for all its planes to be tracked from departure to arrival. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation’s (DGCA) new rule is applicable to both passenger and cargo aircraft “in view of the difficulties faced in operations after an aircraft goes missing or meets with an accident”. Initial probe into MH 370 that went missing with 239 people on board says that “the location of wreckage is still unknown due to no real time tracking of the aircraft,“ which made the DGCA take this decision.
