Air India Pilot Dope Test Row Sparks DGCA Overhaul Demands

There is a big story about a pilot who works for Air India, an airline in India.

Some people say the pilot failed a special test called a dope test, which checks if someone has taken drugs.

This is very serious because pilots are in charge of flying planes full of passengers.

People are worried about whether flying is still safe.

Experienced pilots are asking for changes.

They want the government group that watches over airlines and pilots to be improved.

That group is called the DGCA.

People are asking who makes sure the DGCA does a good job.

A TV show called The Newshour had a conversation about this topic.

Everyone agrees that keeping the skies safe is very important.
