Kochi, Jun 18 (PTI) The Civil Aviation Ministry has decided to map air routes of helicopters following the crash which claimed the life of Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu and four others.
"We have decided to have mapping of routes of helicopters to fly especially after Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister's death," Civil Aviation Minister Vayalar Ravi said today.
Khandu's Pawan Hans chopper crashed on April 30 last at Luguthang ten minutes after take-off from Tawang helipad, killing him and four others on board.
There were ambitious programmes to improve all airports and have more airports in the country. But billons of dollars are needed and the government's policy was to develop them on Private Public Partnership, Ravi said.
