NEW DELHI: Coming down heavily on the Civil Aviation Ministry for its "failure" to finalise a national policy, a parliamentary committee on Wednesday said such a "lackadaisical" approach was responsible for "haphazard" growth in the sector.
It also severely criticised the Ministry for maintaining that the absence of a policy does not affect the sector.
The Committee on Public Undertakings (CPU) felt that "lack of a much needed wider perspective and the Ministry's failure in providing a clear vision and holistic approach to the sector, which a National Policy ought to offer, is largely responsible for haphazard growth in the sector."
In its 37th report tabled in Parliament today, the CPU said the government undertook "a host of policy initiatives" for the development of the sector without a national policy.
The Committee, headed by CPI(M) leader Rupchand Pal, maintained that it did "not agree with the government's contention that its (policy's) absence does not hamper decisions being taken by the government".
It noted "with regret" that despite being aware of the larger growth path that a policy framework could provide to the sector, the Ministry is "still in no hurry to draw up such a roadmap and showing a lackadaisical approach to the whole issue, saying its absence does not affect the sector."
