Maharashtra State to procure Airbus H145 helicopter for anti-Naxal ops
Staff Reporter,

In a bid to provide an edge to anti-Naxalite operations, Maharashtra Government has decided to procure an Airbus H145 helicopter from Airbus Helicopters’ Donauwörth facility in Germany. The cost of the helicopter will be around Rs 72.43 crore in Indian curerncy. The helicopter will be parked at Nagpur. The Government was giving a thought to purchasing a new helicopter for anti-Naxalite operations for past some time. In September 2017, State Cabinet cleared a proposal in this regard. Accordingly, a global tender was floated on January 24, 2018. The technical bids were opened in a meeting of technical committee held on February 17. Later, on February 20, financial bids were opened. Based on the report of the technical committee, the financial bids were placed before an empowered committee headed by the then Chief Secretary on April 6.

After studying the bids, the empowered committee decided to procure Airbus H145 helicopter. The said helicopter will be parked at Nagpur, and used for multiple roles in Gadchiroli. The rotorcraft will be used for anti-Naxalite operations, transporting officials and personnel between Nagpur and Gadchiroli, to evacuate injured police personnel in case of medical emergency etc. Based on the empowered committee’s decision, General Administration Department issued a communication on Tuesday regarding procurement of the helicopter with tools.


Of the total cost of the helicopter, Rs 14.49 crore will be paid in the current financial year.
The provision for remaining amount of Rs 57.94 crore will be made through supplementary demand during the monsoon session of State Legislature to be held in July 2018.


The helicopter will provide an edge to the anti-Naxalite operations of Gadchiroli Police.
As per the Airbus’ website, Airbus H145 helicopter has ‘flexibility for a full range of applications, accommodating up to 8 passengers in standard configuration and 10 passengers in a higher density configuration, plus one or two pilots’.


The said rotorcraft can be ‘tailored for emergency medical services and law enforcement duties’, along with aerial work, and passenger transport. The H145 family of helicopters (BK117, EC145 and H145) has close to 1,300 helicopters in service around the world and has clocked in approximately 5 million flight hours.
As far as Donauwörth is concerned, it is Airbus Helicopters’ main site in Germany and its second largest worldwide. The facility designs, manufactures, and sells H135 and H145 rotorcraft at Donauwörth.

Maharashtra to spend ₹200 crore on two choppers for VIPs and anti-Maoist operations
A Sikorsky S76-D from US firm Lockheed Martin will be used for VIP movement, while an Airbus H145 will carry security forces and ensure medical assistance to them.

To add to the might of anti-Maoist operations and facilitate movement of VIPs, including chief minister, the Maharashtra government will buy two choppers at a cost of ₹200 crore.

A Sikorsky S76-D from US firm Lockheed Martin will be used for VIP movement, while an Airbus H145 will carry security forces and ensure medical assistance to them.

The development comes after 40 ultras were killed in Gadchiroli.

The state government on Tuesday sanctioned the amount for making payments in two installments.

The state cabinet had cleared the proposal to buy new choppers on September 7 last year. An empowered committee headed by the then chief secretary Sumit Mullick approved the purchase after studying technical and financial bids in April.

According to the government resolutions (GR) issued by the general administration department on Tuesday, of the total amount of ₹199.54 crore, 20% (₹39.89 crore) will be paid in advance and the rest will in July.

The state government decided to buy Sikorsky S76-D helicopter following crash landing of its chopper Sikorsky S-76C++ in Latur in May last year. The Sikorsky S-76C++ was carrying chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and five others who escaped miraculously despite substantial damage to the chopper.

Currently, the state government owns two helicopters and two aircraft. Of the two, the S76C++ was in service, while another, Dauphin AS 365 N-3 flew till 2011 and was grounded for want of repairs. The latter was bought at ₹23 crore in 2001.

Of the two aircraft, the Cessna Citation 560XLS was bought in 2013 and is in service, while the Superking AB 300 has been grounded after 11 years.

NOIDA: The Noida Crime Branch’s Special Operation Group (SOG) was dissolved after internal messages about alleged bribery and collections from local businessmen and traders became public on Friday.

If multiples rifles are being fired from inside the vehicles, their eardrums will take hell of a beating. Isn’t it?

J-K Police to get over 150 bulletproof gypsies
The Jammu and Kashmir Police is all set to include over 150 bulletproof gypsies in its fleet, a step taken after increasing terror attacks on security forces, a police official said today.

In this regard, the police had floated a notice last week inviting tender for fabrication of the vehicles into bullet resistant vehicles (BRVs) to arm officers, cops and moving patrol teams against the terror attacks.

The Centre government has already announced Rs 500 crores for the modernization of J&K Police under Prime Minister Development Programme.

"J&K government hereby invited reputed and registered manufacturers of fabrication of bullet resistant vehicles to unarmour 154 gypsies with protection against 7.62mmX39mm (AK-47) without run flat system", Assistant Inspector General (AIG) Provisions, Mubassir Latifi, said.

A lot of things are being procured to modernize the police force after recent attacks on policemen by terrorists. The Ministry of Home Affairs was kind enough to take swift action and sanctioned the bullet proof vehicles for almost all police stations and senior officers, Director General of Police (DGP) J&K, S P Vaid, said.

The underbelly of vehicles shall be protected against the blasts of two hand grenades of HE-36 intensity, the AIG said, adding the bullet resistant material and bullet resistant glasses to be used shall withstand the required protection levels as laid down in the test direction of Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).

In terrorist attacks in the state, as many as 72 civilians and 201 security personnel were killed during 2015-17, the officer said.

In 2018, there were 28 incidents of violence in Jammu and Kashmir in which four security personnel and eight militants were killed, he said.

Home ministry better spend some money on Aerial surveillance during riots i mean proper hepters/UAVs not just toy drones, Mobs are getting bigger now a days.
Since there is no need for riot planners to be physically present to plan and distribute money anymore, it has become easy.

and also money needs to be spent on developing tech and protocols to handle large riots.
