On Thursday the Honourable High Court has prohibited the proposed tender process of Badrinath-Kedarnath Heli Service. The RD Group, who runs Heli Service, has filed a petition in the High Court in this case. The petition has challenged the state government's policy made in 2016. Justice Alok Singh on Thursday ordered his decision in this matter and ordered the ban on the on-going tender process. Court has also directed the Centre and the state government to respond within four weeks. The tender was to open in Dehradun on Thursday 28 March at 11 a.m.
A petition has been filed in the High Court from the RD Group of Dehradun. It has been said that after the disaster of 2015, the government allowed 14 helipad companies to make helipads to ease traffic congestion in Badrinath and Kedarnath. Related companies make scheduled helipads. With this, 04 helipads are also made by the government. Here, the government issued the mandate in 2016. It was decided that more than 06 helicopters could not fly in the Mandakini valley at one go. In the future, no new helipad construction will be allowed in the area. Currently, 18 helipads are already made. Apart from these 14 companies, the government has allowed four other helipad companies to make helipads. The DM of the district complained to the government, but no action was taken from the government.
For this year, the government has started the tender process on 5th February 2019 to start the helipad services for Badrinath and Kedarnath. 14 companies already involved in this were included. But Secretary of State, while amending this tender process, issued new orders on February 16, 2019. Four companies related to this have been included. This operation is done through the backdoor process. After the hearing, the court has asked the government to respond in 04 weeks with the ban on the tender process going on Thursday 28 March.
