In connection to hijacked planes the new policy seems to be imposed on India Govt., by some ext force.

Shootout a hikacked plane that is what Indian Govt intention;
Fortunately we are refering our previous experience of Indian Airlines incident which was nothing to do; Why because we let it out of the country; Where as in case of US incident I don't think hijackers bid for negotiations. They use d as weapon.
In future similar cases araises, India has to shootout such hijacked planes before they rech targets. The intention is very clear thet incase if the plane is still within India we will not allow to fly.
I doubt are these measures are intended for us??

most of the hijackers these days have many more hrs than a commercial pilot. I dont really see anything that will make them stop . Better wud be to have tighter security at the airports ...and scanners even for pilots and the crew of any aircraft .

It has to be waited and watched. Only time will tell. Last time, the minister for foreign affairs had to accompany the terrorists for release of passengers safely.

Armed intervention is now new in India...

It's not possible.
But there could be such policy deliberatly. The security of the passengers must be the top priority. On government there will be lot of pressure over this issue.

The government will no longer negotiate with hijackers of commercial aircraft, Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee said on Sunday, even as a new anti-hijack policy states that such aircraft could be shot down if they threatened strategic government buildings. Fighter jets will be scrambled to prevent hijacked planes from leaving Indian airspace and once they land, they will be obstructed from taking off, Mukherjee, a member of the cabinet committee of security (CCS) that approved the new anti-hijack policy earlier this week, said. "There will be no negotiations with hijackers. We will talk to them only to ensure the release of passengers," Mukherjee said. Hijackers, if captured, will be sentenced to death. Mock exercises can be expected in the next few weeks to test the policy's effectiveness. The police also cater for armed intervention to end a hijack.
