State buys helicopter for police

By S A Ishaqui
Hyderabad, July 25:The Greyhounds, hitherto confined to combing operations in forests and other possible hideouts of the Maoists on ground, would here after get the facility to hip hop in a chopper to hunt down the maoists.

The police so far have been using army helicopter for the purpose of only shifting the injured greyhounds in encounters and land and claymore mine blasts. Now, the State government has sanctioned a helicopter exclusively to deal with Maoists to the police.

The helicopter is likely to be delivered to the police in less than a month, director general of police M.A. Basith said in an informal chat with media.
