For better upkeep of Army choppers, MoD okays two heli-hubs

News:

• The Army is creating heli-hubs for their maintenance in operational areas near the borders.
• The proposal to establish two such heli-hubs, one each in the Northern Command and the Eastern Command, has been approved by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar.
• The establishment of these two heli-hubs will enhance the serviceability of the helicopter fleet by around 25%.
• This reduces the operational availability of helicopters, which are in high demand in the inaccessible mountainous areas like Jammu and Kashmir, and the Northeast.
