As the COVID-19 cases have started to rise again, the Directorate of Civil Aviation has asked the airlines to keep a check on the mask violators.

• The airlines have been advised to ensure that the passengers are wearing masks properly and throughout the journey.
• The DGCA also made clear that the airline can take strict action against the passengers not complying. It also mentioned that surprise inspections at the airport, on airlines, and on passengers must also be carried out.
• The civil aviation regulator has also asked the airport operators to seek local police and security agencies' help and levy fines on those not wearing masks.
