The Indian Air Force (IAF) authorities have asked the Chatuhshrungi police station to look into an "unauthorised" paragliding incident which took place on December 25, reportedly in Kamshet area. The unidentified paragliding is said to have taken place at 12.40 pm when a helicopter flying from Alibaug to Arki reportedly spotted a paraglider at a distance of 5 nautical miles during its flight.
In early December, another helicopter flying between Baramati and Pune had spotted a paraglider flying at about 1,000 feet.
The incident has once again highlighted the missing framework for the operation of aero-sports activities within a particular air space. According to sources at Airport police station, the police received a letter from IAF authorities on December 26.
