Capt. Sharan reveals how he scared ATC Lahore
The Business Guardian
|August 07, 2023
Twenty-four years after the shocking hijacking of Indian Airlines flight IC-814 from Kathmandu in Nepal, its pilot Captain Devi Sharan has revealed that he had made a secret plan to scare the Air Traffic Control at Lahore by pretending to crash land the aircraft on a highway.
-
Till date, it was understood that Capt. Saran, his co-pilot Rajinder Kumar and flight engineer AK Jaggia had decided to land the aircraft at the Lahore airport against the decision of the Pakistani authorities, and while doing so, they mistook a highway for the runway as lights on the runway were switched off.
It was a narrow escape as the aircraft was about to touch the highway when they realised it and pulled it up immediately.

Reassessing sustainable development through lens of ‘Integral Humanism’
Sustainable development has been a buzzword in the past decade that has helped mobilise the entire globe to pull off massive conventions addressing issues like climate change, global warming, and depletion of natural resources with an alarm ing degree of urgency. But there is an obvious chasm between what has been talked about and what has actually materialised on the ground. The global leadership on sustainable development appears to have proven itself inadequate in controlling the damage that is being caused by the forces of modernisation. Access to development is indeed a human right, and modernity is also a pressing need of the times we live in. Both of these appear to be the only answers to the questions of poverty and misery that we see still engulfing a large part of our population. But one cannot deny that development in its conventional course can only happen at the expense of natural resources. Infrastructure can develop only at the cost of forests, and material well-being can only happen at the cost of natural resources. And therefore, a severe paradox presents itself, demanding our immediate attention, as to where we can find the solution that could bring a resolution to this problem.
