"It has been observed that the handling of the special child by the Indigo ground staff was deficient and ended up exacerbating the situation," said a statement by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
A more compassionate handling would have smoothened nerves, calmed the child and obviated the need for the extreme step resulting in denied boarding to the passengers, it mentioned.
Special situations deserve extraordinary responses but the airline’s staff failed to rise up to the occasion, and in the process, committed lapses in adherence to the letter and spirit of the Civil Aviation Requirements (regulations), it noted.

The southwest monsoon has set in over Kerala on Sunday, three days ahead of its normal onset date of June 1, the weather office said.
The southwest monsoon is considered the lifeline of India's agri-based economy.
“South-west monsoon has set in over Kerala on Sunday, May 29, against the normal date of onset of June 1,” India Meteorological Department (IMD) Director General Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said.
Earlier, the IMD had forecast onset over Kerala on May 27 with help from remnants of Cyclone Asani that struck the Bay of Bengal a fortnight ago. The forecast had a model error of four days.
However, the influence of the remnant weather systems that lingered over the southern peninsula petered out. 

What is the importance of the monsoon season for India?

Monsoons hit the coast of Kerala&nbsp;two days in advance. What significance does the season hold for India's agriculture-based economy?

The southwest monsoon has set in over Kerala on May 29, three days ahead of its normal onset date of June 1.&nbsp;
But why are the southwest monsoons and their timely onset so important for India?&nbsp;
The southwest monsoon irrigates over 50 per cent of India&rsquo;s farmlands. India gets around 70 percent of its annual rainfall during the monsoon season and the yield of the Kharif or the summer crops is directly linked to the rain season. Farmers plant these crops after the arrival of monsoons. The summer crops account for 50% of India&rsquo;s total food output.&nbsp;
A poor rainfall season would mean bad yield, which means higher prices, increased import of food, and farm loan waivers. To sum it up &ndash; food inflation. &nbsp;

Not to mention, a poor monsoon season also means drought. The government then has to step in to support farmers, leading to an increased fiscal deficit. &nbsp;
Monsoons are the lifeline of India's agriculture-based economy and even the slightest disturbance can cause ripples that are felt by the economy of India. &nbsp;

Amid tension between India and China over Beijing's military aggression in Ladakh, America seems to gaining. The United States overtook China to become India's top trade partner in 2021-22.
In FY22, India and USA's bilateral trade stood at $119.42 billion compared to $115.42 billion between India and China.
India's exports to US rose to $76.11 billion in 2021-22 from $51.62 billion in 2020-21. At the same time, imports from US to India rose to $43.31 billion from $29 billion in 2020-21.
India's exports to China increased to $21.25 billion in 2021-22 from $21.18 billion in 2020-21. Imports from China to India rose to $94.16 billion from $65.21 billion in 2020-21.
The sharp rise in imports from China continues despite India's perceived push to move away following the Ladakh tension.
India has a trade surplus with the US, but a trade deficit with China. This means that India exports more to the US than it imports, but vice versa with China.
