Hyderabad: The finance department has thrust a spoke in Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy’s plans to fly high in a new state-owned helicopter. Two months after the Chief Minister sanctioned purchase of the chopper, the finance department has still not cleared the file.
Sources told this newspaper that the Chief Minister wanted a four-member committee, headed by the chief secretary to approve the purchase. The other members of the panel were finance principal secretary, infrastructure secretary and managing director of civil aviation corporation.
When the file was circulated to the finance department, the recently retired bureaucrat V. Bhaskar proposed that the committee should have 10 members, with representatives from civil aviation, intelligence, home department, and provisions and logistics.
