ROURKELA: Two aircraft of New Zealand’s Kiwi Air stranded at Rourkela airport since the last many days were engaged by the Geological Survey of India (GSI) for aerial survey before the lockdown came into force.
This was revealed on Tuesday after speculations arose over the presence of these aircraft at the airport of Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) amid the coronavirus panic. These specially-equipped aircraft, capable of taking images and videos while flying, were engaged for multisensory geo-physical survey of GSI to look for mineral deposits in various States. However, the aerial survey was later called off abruptly in view of the coronavirus restrictions.
