The Chinook helicopters of Indian Air Force are used not just for transporting weapons, troops or supplies.
Arunachal Pradesh government on Friday used the helicopter to airlift seeds for a kitchen garden project in remote Vijaynagar, to ensure uninterrupted supply of nutritious food to its residents.
“The roaring beast Chinook takes off for Vijaynagar today, a remote town in Indo-Myanmar border, carrying kitchen garden seeds. The Arunachal government has recently launched Nutritional Kitchen Garden and Cluster Farming schemes for Atma Nirbhar Bharat encouraging Vocal For Local campaign,” Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu tweeted with photos of a Chinook carrying the seeds packet.
