Shillong: AICC President Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Tura on January 30 has been cancelled because of the reason that the Special Protection Group (SPG) rejected the 20-year old Pawan Hans chopper offered to Gandhi for his visit, a government statement said.
Talking on the issue, a senior AICC official said that do they want Rahul to die? How can they do that? Political rivalry is at a different level but this is about the safety of an individual.
Pawan Hans is a dangerous company, says aviation expert Captain Mohan Ranganathan, who alleges that investigations after crashes involve cover-ups and nobody is held accountable. The chopper company is run by the government, which controls the aviation regulator DGCA.
The Congress scion was supposed to meet party workers in Tura on Tuesday and attend several meetings in Shillong on January 31, it added.
Pawan Hans helicopters have a issue of safety and operational efficiency from last some months. There are many incidents have come to light regarding this helicopter service company based in New Delhi.
Last week, a Pawan Hans helicopter with five ONGC personnel and two pilots on board on Saturday crashed off the city coast while heading to an oil rig at Mumbai High, and four bodies bodies were found.
According to defence spokesperson, some objects, which could be parts of the helicopter have been recovered from the site. Whether it is parts of the wreckage is yet be confirmed.
