Army ropes in civilian copters for remote posts
The New Indian Express|October 15, 2024
IN a move aimed at bolstering logistics support to remote forward posts, the Indian Army has entered into a first-of-itskind contract with civil aviation service providers for helicopter support to the posts along the Northern and Western borders that are cut off during the winter, Army officer said on Monday.

Under this, civil aviation helicopters would be employed instead of Army's own aviation or Air Force assets. This will not only reduce costs but preserve the service life of military helicopters for more critical roles in combat or emergency scenarios, the officers said.

"The contract, executed for a period of one year, will ensure that 16 remote posts in the Jammu region are sustained throughout the year, while another 28 posts in Kashmir and Ladakh will benefit from this support for 150 days next year," said an officer aware of the development.

Dropped catches at Dubai: Coach George explains why

HE last two group matches of the ongoing T20 World Cup at the Dubai International Stadium were vital for more than one reason. It had a future of six teams in the World Cup depending on the result of that match. However, for the fans watching from the stadium or their homes, the two matches will be remembered for the amount of dropped catches they witnessed. Whether it was Pakistan or England, both teams that eventually could not make it to the semifinals, were the culprits for dropping as many as six catches each. The Sharjah Cricket Stadium, the other venue of the tournament, has also witnessed many dropped catches, but it has not been as bad as the Dubai Stadium.
