Stone pelters are damaging Jammu and Kashmir police bullet proof vechiles i saw it on tv they literally throwing every thing on bullet proof vechiles. Indian govt should procure separate anti-riot armoured vechiles to deal with stone pelters.
The Gypsys or the large armoured carriers?

Amid cash crunch, Maharashtra state government to buy two new helicopters.
Mumbai: After losing the Sikorsky S 76 helicopter in a crash at Latur, the state government on Thursday, decided to buy two new helicopters. This comes at a time when the government is dealing with financial crisis.

The state government owned one old Dauphin N 3 which was replaced with Sikorsy S 76 after the crash that killed AP Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.

Although, the government wanted to give the old helicopter to Force one, home department did not want an old helicopter for police.

Now, one helicopter will be used for VVIP operations like CM Devendra Fadnavis and Governor Ch Vidaysagar Rao’s transportation, the second one will be used for anti-naxal operations and Force one. Both helicopters will cost Rs 150 crore and it will take nearly one and half years to arrive in Mumbai.

After the crash at Latur, CM Fadnavis luckily survived another accident at Pen in Raigad. The state government now charters a helicopter for him.

In the fixed wing category, the government has Cessna Citation XLS aircraft bought in 2008. Dauphin has not been utilised since 2011 due to the changes in the Director General of Civil Aviation guidelines for the VVIP flying. The government wanted to sell it, but could not find appropriate buyers.

After many attempts to either upgrade or dispose the chopper and aircraft grounded for years due to various reasons, the government has now decided to donate Dauphin to aviation training institute as an upgrade could cost nearly Rs 30 crore.

At present, the government has been spending about Rs 20 crore annually to hire helicopters for naxal affected areas of Vidarbha.
