Agra, Jun 1: Vishva Hindu Parishad’s dethroned leader Pravin Togadia’s one of the close aide has announced Rs 2 lakh reward for those who would thrash Bollywood superstar Salman Khan in public.

The generous hatemonger has been identified as Govind Parashar, the chief of Agra unit of Togadia’s new outfit, ‘Hindu Hi Aage’. Togadia had to quit the Vishva Hindu Parishad on April 14 earlier this year.

Parashar has blamed Salman Khan for hurting sentiments of Hindus by naming his movie ‘Loveratri’. The movie has been produced by Salman’s company.

Parashar said the Bollywood actor has scheduled his film’s release during Navratri to cash in on the nine-day-long Hindu festival. Parashar and other ‘Hindu Hi Aage’ members burnt posters of Salman Khan and his movies near Bhagwan Talkies on Thursday, a report said.

The activists also shouted slogans against Salman and his movie ‘Loveratri’. The movie releases in October this year and the case includes Salman’s brother-in-law Aayush Sharma.VHP leader Pravin Togadia launches attack on PM Modi, says 'this govt helped Pak-supporters'

“The movie is being produced by Salman Khan by distorting ‘Navratri’ – a religious occasion with which sentiments of lakhs of Hindus are attached. We condemn such intention of Salman Khan and seek a ban on the movie. If it is permitted to be screened, we would oppose it tooth and nail,” a newspaper quoted Parashar as saying.

“We won’t tolerate hurting of Hindu sentiments and as city unit president of Hindu Hi Aage I have declared a reward of Rs 2 lakh for anyone thrashing cine actor Salman Khan in public,” he added.

India’s Tougher Pilot Fatigue Rules: Why IndiGo’s Operations Crashed Into Turbulence

News Network

December 6,2025

New Delhi: IndiGo, India’s largest airline, faced major operational turbulence this week after failing to prepare for new pilot-fatigue regulations issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The stricter rules—designed to improve flight safety—took effect in phases through 2024, with the latest implementation on November 1. IndiGo has acknowledged that inadequate roster planning led to widespread cancellations and delays.

Below are the key DGCA rules that affected IndiGo’s operations:

1. Longer Mandatory Weekly Rest

Weekly rest for pilots has been increased from 36 hours to 48 hours.

The government says the extended break is essential to curb cumulative fatigue. This rule remains in force despite the current crisis.

2. Cap on Night Landings

Pilots can now perform only two night landings per week—a steep reduction from the earlier limit of six.

Night hours, defined as midnight to early morning, are considered the least alert period for pilots.

Given the disruptions, this rule has been temporarily relaxed for IndiGo until February 10.

3. Reduced Maximum Night Flight Duty

Flight duty that stretches into the night is now capped at 10 hours.

This measure has also been kept on hold for IndiGo until February 10 to stabilize operations.

4. Weekly Rest Cannot Be Replaced With Personal Leave

Airlines can no longer count a pilot’s personal leave as part of the mandatory 48-hour rest.

Pilots say this closes a loophole that previously reduced actual rest time.

Currently, all airlines are exempt from this rule to normalise travel.

5. Mandatory Fatigue Monitoring

Airlines must submit quarterly fatigue reports along with corrective actions to DGCA.

This system aims to create a transparent fatigue-tracking framework across the industry.

The DGCA has stressed that these rules were crafted to strengthen flight safety and align India with global fatigue-management standards. The temporary relaxations are expected to remain until February 2025, giving IndiGo time to stabilise its schedules and restore normal air travel.
