The indian air space has been facing lot of air crashes these days, last month saw the crash of helicopter which spared the life of a state cheif minister, the incident claimed that bad weather and visibility was the reason, similiar story is claimed by the investigators this time again , so what is the problem in airspace? are the air space controllers not caring on weather reports? or fake pilots?
