Jammu & Kashmir Resumes Winter Helicopter Services

In Jammu and Kashmir, the helicopter services to the hilly districts of the Jammu division are being resumed to provide respite to the people during the winter season.  

The Divisional Commissioner Jammu, Ramesh Kumar convened a meeting with Deputy Commissioners  (DCs) of Poonch, Rajouri, Doda, Kishtwar, and other stakeholders to assess the preparedness for this much-anticipated revival. He instructed the DCs to appoint Nodal Officers and conduct joint inspections with Global Vectra Helicorp's technical team to facilitate the readiness of designated helipads in their respective



districts. 

The Divisional Commissioner appointed Joint Director Tourism as the Nodal Officer to facilitate seamless coordination with the service provider - Global Vectra Helicorp. The Joint Director of Tourism has been tasked with establishing a dedicated counter and assembling a team for efficient ticket booking at TRC Jammu. To keep the public well-informed, the DCs are instructed to widely publicise and notify fares and timings at prominent locations such as hospitals and bus stands. The renewed helicopter service will not only bring relief to the locals but also prove invaluable during medical emergencies.
