Kerala police chopper to hunt Maoists
Thiruvananthapuram: It is going to be an expensive hunt for Maoists hiding in the state forests with the police deciding to hire helicopters and pursue them.
The police department has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Pawan Hans Ltd for procuring a helicopter on a wet-lease basis for anti-Maoist operations.
As per the MoU, AS 365 Dauphin N3 of the company will be taken on wet lease for a fixed monthly charge of Rs 1.44 crore. The 11-seater helicopter is being hired for 20 hours of flying per month. In case the flying time crosses this limit, an hourly charge of Rs 68,000 will be levied extra.
A 365 Dauphin 2, is a medium-weight multipurpose twin-engine helicopter produced by Airbus Helicopters. It was originally developed and manufactured by French firm Aérospatiale, which was merged into the multinational Eurocopter Company during the 1990s. Since entering production in 1975, the type has been in continuous production for more than 40 years.
The helicopter can also be used for transporting high-risk prisoners and VIPs. As per the police, the reason for procuring the helicopter was the increase in the activities of the Left-wing extremist in northern districts of Palakkad, Malappuram, Kozhikode, Wayanad and Kannur.
Pawan Hans was shortlisted for the MoU after several rounds of discussions conducted by a team led by Chief Secretary Tom Jose pointing out that technical aspects, specific requirements of helicopter and comparative statement of tender documents of other states were examined in detail before finally zeroing in on Pawan Hans.
Pawan Hans Limited is a helicopter service company based in New Delhi.it is a Mini Ratna-I category PSU. It has cumulatively flown more than one million hours. It has also completed 2.5 million landings on its fleet since its formation.

Kerala Police attempt to hire helicopter comes in for flak
The Kerala Police Department’s move to hire a helicopter for ‘operational purposes’ appears to have run into a headwind.
The Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) Opposition has slammed the bid, which generated a wave of anti-government trolls on social media. In a provocative online post, Congress MLA V. T. Balaram compared Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to yesteryear action hero Jayan. (The actor had died while shooting a helicopter stunt scene in 1980).
“Is the CM Vijayan or Jayan. He feels he could shoot to death seven or eight people if he could get his hands on a helicopter,” Mr. Balaram wrote in his Facebook account. The MLA seemed to have alluded to the recent killing of four Maoists in Palakkad forests by police commandos and the purported claim that the law enforcement required the helicopter for anti-Maoist operations.
Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala said the government had used national security as a pretext to hire the aircraft at an excessive rate for the sole purpose of flying Ministers in comfort. A fit of wastefulness had seized the government when the State was reeling under a financial crisis.
The police had struck an agreement with Pawan Hans to hire AS 365 Dauphin N3, Medium Twin-Engine helicopter for ₹1.44 crore for 20 hours of flight time a month. The aircraft was for disaster management missions and security operations.
Controversy
A controversy had erupted on Monday when a private firm alleged that the police had sidelined them to ‘illegally’ award the contract to Pawan Hans though they had offered helicopters at a lesser rate. A senior officer said Pawan Hans, a public sector entity, had an excellent safety record. The helicopter was hardy used by the French Navy for maritime operations.
Given the large population of seagoing fishermen, marine search and operations was a priority for the police.

Move it beyond the above - it would allow better compliance and risk management and even access control. i would go beyond and use it to monitor police performance and even use it for deployment.
i noticed at vip security even police - each time a certain measurement is used - would be easier to know and recognize.
the other side is that police can become targetted. therefore restict the availability of the police personal information but enable recognition and monitoring of police personnel both for public and service providers. its easier for others to recognize police impersonation and also asking why and who the cop is before they meet you.

UP Police retires 20th century rifles after 70 years of service
In service since the past 70 years of Independence, the .303 Lee-Enfield rifles have finally been retired by the Uttar Pradesh Police in favour of Insas (Indian Small Arms System) and SLRs (Self-Loading Rifles).
Talking to India Today, UP Police Director General OP Singh said that being quite old, the Lee-Enfield rifles were prone to failure and required a lot of maintenance. "In order to strengthen the state's law and order, 63,000 Insas and 23,000 SLRs have been sent to the police stations all over the state and the police personnel have been instructed not to use the Lee-Enfields. If a police station's staff is found using the Lee-Enfields, the reserve inspector of the concerned district's police line as well as the police station staff will face departmental action."
Inspector general of police (IGP) Agra A Satish Ganesh told India Today that the .303 Lee-Enfield rifles were introduced in the year 1914 during the First World War. "The range of this rifle was about 2,000 meters. The UP Police received this rifle in 1945. Earlier, the police used the Musket .410 rifles. In the 80s the police received the SLRs. In the Kargil War, the Insas rifle proved very effective, so it was also adopted in the police service. Now, the .303 Lee-Enfield rifles have been phased out of service."
All India Crime Prevention Society Governor Body member Dr S Qureshi praised the working of the UP Police and said that the way the police handled the state's security during the Ayodhya court case hearing and the subsequent verdict was highly appreciable. "Before that, the arrangements made at the Kumbh were beyond comparison which were even appreciated by the international media," Dr S Qureshi said.
Dr S Qureshi expressed the need for citizen policing in the state, with the involvement of local residents of particular areas as special police officers, working in close cooperation with the police, local intelligence and special intelligence wings.

MCIWS was further developed after Army's first rejection and later named Advance Assault Rifle ( AAR ). But Army dropped the requirement of a rifle which can fire both 7.62*39 mm & 5.56*45 mm rounds and takes little time to change internal parts while switching to other calibre. It never entered production.
Some OFB/DRDO designed guns in service
Excalibur & Excalibur MK-1 20,000+ ordered or delivered
JVPC 10,000+ ordered
GHAATAK 5000+ on order & 2000+ delivered
Trichy Assault Rifle 1600+ ordered
Amogh Carbine 500+- delivered Limited production
7.62*51mm Sniper Rifle 100-200 ordered Limited Production
