Ranchi: Ten tourist destinations of Jharkhand will soon be equipped with helipads. State government has taken the initiative for proper aerial connectivity and infrastructural facilities for such spots. The helipads will have safety, security and safe operation of helicopters carrying passengers and VVIPs.
The Re-tender inviting bidders for the construction of helipads was published by the Civil Aviation department on Monday. The opening of the technical bid and financial was scheduled on March 27 at the office of Additional Chief Secretary Sajal Chakraverty in the State Hangar. Talking to The Pioneer, Chakraverty said they are yet to identify the ten locations for the helipad construction.
“We have chosen Maluti, Betla, Basukinath and Saranda among the ten spots. But, the final list of the spots has not been prepared. Searching land on the basis of longitude and latitude for the set up is an issue as most of the places are dominated by private land,” he added.
The construction is part of the 2014-15 Financial Year plan. Chakraverty said the grounds used by political parties and senior Government officers for landing helicopters in case of campaigning, inspection or a confidential activity are not safe. “Helipads would serve a convenient space for landing in such circumstances in terms of safety,” he maintained.
