Home Minister RR Patil has said they had asked for a Mi-17 helicopter to be based at Nagpur.
Patil said the helicopter now based in Raipur took time to reach Raipur. "Even during the last incident, it took more than 20 hours for the bodies to be lifted. We are trying to check if the Union government can get it or we can import it."
He said there was a need to focus on development in Gadchiroli and improving the police skills. "I am also asking private industries to take the lead in hiring unemployed youth in Gadchiroli." Patil said there was a shortage of IPS cadre officers with the creation of elite forces like ATS, Force One and a separate range in Gadchiroli. "We do not have enough IPS quota to match the increase we have made in posts and police departments... We also want the Centre to raise our IPS quota."
