Helicopter services

Sir,
The decision to resume helicopter services in the hilly districts of Jammu division, as reported in this paper on December 14, 2023 is highly appreciated.
The initiative taken by Divisional Commissioner Ramesh Kumar to convene a meeting and assess the preparedness for this service revival is commendable.
The appointment of Nodal Officers and joint inspections with Global Vectra Helicorp’s technical team demonstrates a proactive approach to ensuring the smooth operation of designated helipads.
This step is not only about transportation but also a beacon of hope for the community, promising convenience and swift assistance, especially during medical emergencies.
It is a positive development, which will undoubtedly make a significant impact on the lives of the residents in the hilly regions.
