The facts posted are too general. No menaingful suggestion unless there exists actionable facts/situations.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate) 13 August 2026
Your safety and mental well-being must take top priority, especially given the safety-critical nature of Air Traffic Control (ATC). Operating standard radar or procedural positions while experiencing severe anxiety, depression, and intentional workplace stress poses a risk not just to you, but to public aviation safety.
Inform your Head of Office/ATM In-Charge in writing that due to severe acute stress and medical advice, you are unfit to perform operational ATC duties until further notice. This immediately removes you from the live operational console and protects aviation safety.
When an In-Charge refuses to forward a representation ("blocking proper channel"), AAI regulations and administrative rules allow you to escalate directly.
Submit a formal employee grievance directly through the Internal Grievance Redressal Portal on the AAI Intranet / Central Grievance mechanism.
Log onto pgportal.gov.in and file a grievance under the Ministry of Civil Aviation -> Airports Authority of India.
Reach out directly to the Air Traffic Controllers' Guild (India) regional and central executive members. The Guild frequently intervenes in cases where controllers face administrative targeting, unjust transfer blocks, or safety-critical workplace distress.

I have tried every possible channel to get relief but not getting any assistance from anywhere. Instead the HR at regional headquarters has issued a memorandum dated 12/08/2026 (show cause notice) threatening disciplinary action against me for submitting representations against my In-charge and Airport Director for mentally harassing, humiliating and targeting me.
What legal options do I have?
Dr. J C Vashista (Advocate ) 15 August 2026
It would be better to contact, consult and engage a local prudent lawyer practicing service matters for proper analyses of facts / documents, professional advise and necessary proceeding.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate) 15 August 2026
Yes, you may consult an experienced lawyer in the local ikn person and proceed as suggested for further legal actions.
