Global Vectra security nod cancelled

New Delhi: In yet another jolt to Ravindra Rishi, chairman of the London-based Vectra Group, who is already under CBI investigation over Tatra trucks deal, the ministry of home affairs (MHA) has ordered withdrawal of security clearance to its aviation subsidiary Global Vectra Helicorp Limited.
According to government sources, the MHA on April 30 had asked the civil aviation ministry to tell Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to immediately withdraw the licences given to GVHL helicopters.
The decision which, sources said, amounts to cancellation of security clearance, is likely to hamper anti-Maoist operations as Global Vectra along was partner to a consortium that was finalised to wet lease fortified MI-17 plus helicopters for operations in Maoist hotbed after MHA failed to get helicopters from Indian Air Force and private players.
