NEW DELHI, Dec 29 (NNN-Bernama) — The Indian government has told airlines to play Indian music on their flights and at airport facilities.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation bemoaned that “Indian airlines seldom play Indian music” on their flights despite its “rich heritage.”
“It is, therefore, requested to kindly consider playing Indian music in the aircraft being operated in India and at airports following the regulatory requisites,” it said.
The ministry issued the advisory after it received a request from the lndian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), an agency under the Ministry of External Affairs, to promote local music on flights.
“This seemingly small change to play Indian music in flights operated by lndian air companies shall go a long way in igniting love for the motherland in the hearts of our countrymen,” the ICCR said in statement earlier.
