Implement No-Fly Rules Strictly Right to the DotThis is a good beginning. It is easy to frame rules, but the toughest part is in its implementation. Does the government believe that uncivilized people and goondas like Ravindra Gaikwad would ever obey these rules?

The government should also arm the airlines with muscle power to prevent violators from flying — MPs, politicians or the rich and powerful.

On the watchlist should be unruly elements from the Shiv Sena and Trinamool Congress who violate rules to get some cheap publicity.

There will be a month-long time frame for the public to comment on it. The ministry will study the inputs and subsequently formulate the final Civil Aviation Requirement of CAR.
