The government is looking to develop helipads along major highways so that accident victims can be evacuated using helicopters from the spot.
As part of efforts to boost the country’s helicopter segment, Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Tuesday said steps are being taken to have Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS).
“I am working with the Ministry of Road Transport to try and see whether we can develop helipads along the major highways, especially Mumbai, Delhi and so forth so that if there is an accident, we can evacuate people with helicopters,” he said.
