MPs panel asks government to act against predatory airfares

New Delhi, May 1: The government cannot abdicate its responsibility towards citizens by doing nothing on predatory airfares and rules must be changed if they are the ones preventing effective curbs on this unhealthy practice, a parliament panel has said. It also asked the civil aviation ministry whose interest it was subserving with such a hands–off approach, to specifically study the rules and regulations that were coming in the way of addressing the issue of predatory airfares, and to spell out the future steps needed to tackle it.
