In a bid to connect faraway destinations, the government has approved the introduction of subsidised helicopter services in Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. The services will be started on a pilot basis in 10 sectors and the most inaccessible destination points would be chosen, an official statement read. Emergency and passenger services to local residents will be provided on priority at subsidised rates.
