Meanwhile, sources aware of the development told ANI that the parliamentary committee will propose for several policy changes to ensure that the safety of passengers on board is not compromised.

Sources told ANI that apart from officials of the Ministry of Civil Aviation, officials from the Law Ministry would also depose before the committee.
