The Hindu
At present these instructions are made in English and Hindi in domestic flights
The Madras High Court on Monday directed the Civil Aviation Ministry to consider and pass a reasoned order on a representation made by a public interest litigant to ensure announcement of In-Flight Safety Instructions in the local languages of the origin city and destination city apart from English and Hindi. Chief Justice Sanjib Banerjee and Justice P.D. Audikesavalu passed the order while disposing of a PIL petition filed by advocate B. Ramkumar Adityan of Thoothukudi. The litigant claimed that the safety of air passengers could not be ensured if they weren't able to understand the safety instructions.More Related News
