Weeks after chopper crash kills 3, top official urges ALH design review

Quick Summary:

A senior Indian Coast Guard official has called for design re-evaluations of the Advanced Light Helicopter after one of the military choppers of the maritime security agency crashed in Gujarat earlier this month, killing three.

ICG Inspector General and Regional Commander (West) Bhisham Sharma said on Thursday that ALH has been in the service for the past 20 years and the Coast Guard has the Mark III version of the indigenous helicopters called Dhruv.

It is a wonderful machine but few incidents certainly call for some design re-evaluations," he told reporters in Mumbai.
