Mizoram to get chopper services within three months

AIZAWL, Feb 15 – After Nagaland, it’s Mizoram’s turn to have chopper services.

However, the question remains whether the authorities concerned will be able to materialise chopper services in three months time or not.

The last meeting between Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla, accompanied by officials from Aviation Wing with Pawan Hans, held on Thursday decided on starting the service within three months. Lal Thanhawla said, “Our future is bright but there are many things to be done before the maiden helicopter services start in this hilly State”.

A ten-seater ‘Dauphin’ from Pawan Hans will operate in Mizoram as per the negotiations between the two parties. But in a hilly State like Mizoram only 7-9 persons can be accomodated on a Dauphin, officials from Pawan Hans said.
