Helicopter service in Mizoram


Helicopter Service runs into teething problems

Anurag
Aizawl, Sept 27:The Helicopter service in Mizoram that was launched recently to ease the communication problem faced by the people of this hilly state is itself facing neglect of the authorities.

Mamit, which is one of the District headquarter has not got helipad till now. The Aviation wing is funded by Ministry of DoNER so that construction of helipad could be carried out in different parts of Mizoram. The Construction work in Thenzawl, Saitaul, Champhai and Mamit is expected to begin by November this year. Since there has been no proper chartered or hire of the helicopter yet, so limited service is provided to the commuters.Despite all these, tickets are full most regularly except the Copter service in Kolasib and Hnahthial.
