Days after Air India crash, N. Chandrasekaran takes charge as..., to work with...
Air India Crisis: After the recent Tata India plane crash near Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad, the airline company is going through the most challenging phase at this time. Dealing with the situation created after the plane crash has become the biggest challenge for Air India at this time.
In such a situation, Tata Group Chairman N. Chandrasekhar himself has taken the responsibility of the daily operations of Air India. N Chandrasekhar is currently working on security review, sensitive government relations, flight maintenance as well as the welfare of employees.
History is a witness that whenever a crisis situation has arisen, the Tata chairman has handled it himself. For example, in 1989, when Tata Steel caught fire, J.R.D. Tata himself took charge and led the entire situation.
Tata Chairman takes charge
Whether it was the attack on Taj Hotel in Mumbai on 26 November or the scam in Tata Finance, Ratan Tata always came forward as the Tata Chairman. While working in TCS, N. Chandrasekaran is also known for taking the right decision to overcome the crisis.
According to reports, Air India CEO Campbell is now working with N. Chandrasekaran on regulatory matters and strategic plans. Given his experience with Tata, Chandrasekaran can handle the kind of immediate action that is needed at the present time.
Air India needs special focus
Group officials believe that Air India needs special attention at this time. They say that N. Chandrasekaran has previously worked from the airline headquarters. In such a situation, the kind of focus and immediate action that is needed on the aviation company, only the group chairman can do this work. Officials believe that there is a great need at this time to rebuild Air India's reputation and win the trust of the people.
It is worth noting that on June 12, Air India's Boeing plane crashed in Ahmedabad. In this incident, 241 out of 242 passengers died. These included 12 crew members as well. Air India had announced to give Rs 1 crore each to the families of all the deceased.

Post-CAA stir and pandemic lull, uptick in student clashes at Jamia
New Delhi: After a relatively quiet period following the 2019 anti-CAA protests and the lull caused by the pandemic, Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) has seen a sharp rise in student clashes, with 42 incidents reported in two years – 2023 and 2024 -- reveals an RTI query. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In comparison, the university saw no clashes in 2020 and 2021. Between Jan 2019 and Dec 2024, a total of 55 student clashes were reported. In 2019, the year that saw the university become a focal point of the nationwide agitation against CAA, six incidents were reported. JMI students held sustained protests, with police entering the campus library on Dec 15, sparking outrage across the country. In the following two years, during Covid and the lockdown, no incidents were recorded. While 2022 saw seven incidents, there were 22 reported clashes in 2023 and 20 in 2024. According to the RTI data, the nature of recent incidents is broadly described as "altercations", mostly taking place on the main campus. In 2023, 10 such clashes occurred between Jan and May. The trend continued in 2024, with 11 incidents reported between Jan and July. While the RTI response does not elaborate on the causes of each incident, the records confirm they were officially registered by university authorities. The rise in clashes has been accompanied by a marked increase in disciplinary measures. The number of students who faced action jumped from 17 in 2019 to 47 in 2022, 105 in 2023, and 74 in 2024 — a total of 243 students over four years. The actions ranged from warnings and show-cause notices to suspensions and campus bans. In 2023, Jamia issued 71 show-cause notices, asked 21 students to sign good conduct bonds and banned three from campus. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In 2024, 56 students were issued show-cause, eight put on good conduct bonds, four suspended, and one was banned from the campus. No disciplinary action was taken in 2020 and 2021, the years in which no clashes were reported. Police were involved twice — in 2019 and 2024 — to "restore order and ensure safety", according to the university. Over the six-year period, five FIRs were registered in connection with the altercations — one in 2019 and four in 2024. The FIRs were filed under sections relating to 'causing hurt', though the university declined to disclose specific provisions, citing Section 8(1)(h) of RTI Act, which exempts details that could impede an investigation. Jamia also stated that details on whether any students were detained or arrested were "not available". Between 2019 and 2024, Jamia collected a total of Rs 27,000 in fines. This includes Rs 7,000 in 2019; Rs 4,000 in 2022; Rs 12,500 in 2023; and Rs 3,500 in 2024. No fines were collected in 2020 or 2021. The university's RTI reply does not specify if the clashes were linked to political groups or factions active on campus. Jamia has not held students' union elections since 2006, though student collectives and informal groupings continue to exist. While the RTI data confirms a clear uptick in student unrest on Jamia's campus post-2022 compared to the pandemic years, the university has largely relied on internal disciplinary mechanisms to address the clashes. With fines remaining symbolic and police action minimal, the data reflects a cautious administrative approach.
