new Delhi. Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) DG Kuldeep Singh said on Thursday that the evacuation of injured personnel by helicopter depends on several factors, including weather conditions.
He said that evacuation of troops is a technical issue and depends on the visibility and meteorological conditions and due to this, airlifting of soldiers sometimes becomes impossible.
“The matter has been taken up and discussed with the higher officials of the Air Force,” Singh said.
He said that the pilots of the helicopter are in the best position to decide whether the helicopter can take off or land in any position. The pilots are well trained and fly day or night. He said that if the weather is good and visibility is clear, then they operate the helicopter.
Talking about the injured Assistant Commandant Vibhor Singh, who was badly injured in an IED blast in an anti-Naxal counter operation in Bihar’s Aurangabad, the CRPF chief said that he could not be airlifted due to low visibility near the encounter site. Could it She was not airlifted the same night due to bad weather, with the pilots expressing their inability to take off, citing weather conditions. We cannot question the pilots as they have to fly and they understand the prevailing meteorological conditions better.
He said that lighting arrangements have been made at many places in the Left Wing Extremist Theater in Chhattisgarh and we are doing it at many more places.
