Connect all district headquarters by regular heli-taxi services

What does this status mean?

Meaningful delivery has occurred, but the stated commitment is incomplete.

Status describes delivery. Confidence describes how strong the available evidence is.

Original manifesto wording

“We will work to ensure that all district headquarters of the state are connected to Dehradun, Haldwani and the National Capital Region through regular heli-taxi services in a phased manner.”

Our Assessment

UCADA schedules show multiple regular air/heli routes linking Dehradun, Haldwani, Nainital, Pithoragarh, Almora, Champawat, Joshiyara and Gauchar, but all district headquarters and NCR linkage are not verified. The phased heli-connectivity objective is materially underway, but coverage is below the universal all-district-HQ promise. Budget: Uttarakhand Air Connectivity Scheme/RCS operations verified; full all-district cost not isolated.
