Raipur: The Chhattisgarh Directorate of Aviation has gone for a re-tendering process to hire a twin engine helicopter for use by the State Police and VIPs on a long-term charter basis.
The Government is looking for a twin engine helicopter capable of carrying a minimum of six passengers. The helicopter will be based in Bastar district’s headquarters Jagdalpur but would be required to operate in the entire State, officials stated.
The helicopter would have to provide 25 hours of committed flying in a month. Notably, the Chhattisgarh Government will develop a helipad with night landing facility in insurgency infested Sukma district of Bastar at a cost of Rs19.90 lakh, officials stated.
