Two ATS Officers taken off duty on Plane and President's Halicopter case

Two ATC officials in Mumbai were today taken off duty pending inquiry by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) into the near miss between an Air India plane and a helicopter belonging to the President's entourage.
The two officials have been 'de-rostered' during the inquiry, sources said while clarifying that they have not been placed under suspension. The identity of the officials has not been revealed. The action came as an eight-member DGCA-appointed probe team, led by Joint Director General (Investigation) A K Chopra, began investigation into the incident which had the potential of leading to a major disaster.
