Nandhi Hills Flying Permission

Dear All,

on 24th Jan, 2009 me and Arvind visited Horticulture dept at Lalbagh and DC office at Chikaballapur. Both the officers were not available to put our case and subsequently we have got the contact nos of these officers.
Horticulture dept head : Mr Vasnath Kumar - Director Ph: 26571925 (Direct) & 26579231 extn 202
Mr Anvar Pasha - DC
PA to DC Mr Salim 9880926617 & 08156 262001

Today me & Narendra met Mr Vasanth Kumar and he speaks typical government language and he says we need to take permission from all concerned depatments for flying!!! We asked him to give permission from his side then he says let him speak to Special Officer who stays at Nandhi hills to know the complete case & whether it comes under his jurisdiction to give any permissions. As of him they have control over 90 acres of land which is within boundery of Nandhi hills. Other part comes under forest and as per him, we may have to take permission from DC. We have to contact Mr Vasanth Kumar next week to know the developments.

In the mean time we have to visit DC's office this Friday to know whether there is any official order restricting paragliding at Nandhi hills. If DC clears from his side, there should not be much problems in speaking to horticulture department.

Let's hope for the best.

Regards
Venu
