On July 14, ANI <\/em>published a report<\/a> titled, \u201cUttarakhand: Passengers to be charged during rescue operations.\u201d<\/em> Affixed with the article was a notification issued by the state Civil Aviation Development Authority addressed to the District Magistrate of Pithoragarh. Based on\u00a0this, ANI<\/em> reported that \u201cpassengers would be charged availing helicopters during rescue operations at the time of disasters.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>The story was also picked up by NDTV<\/a>, Deccan Chronicle<\/a><\/em> and India Times<\/em><\/a>. NDTV later published another article<\/a> with the Chief Minister’s response.<\/p>\n

Social media users did not take the news well and many tweeted in outrage, including former JNUSU Vice President Shehla Rashid<\/a> and national social media in-charge of Indian Youth Congress Vaibhav Walia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Congratulations to Uttarakhand CM for becoming the first CM ever to charge stranded citizens for rescue operations! Helicopter rides will now be chargeable during rescue operations in Uttarakhand. And if you can’t pay, you may safely die. #AchheDin<\/a> #BJP<\/a><\/p>\n

CM Trivendra Singh Rawat refutes ANI\u2019s story<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat took to Twitter<\/a> to refute ANI\u2019s reportage. He said that in a government order dated July 4, clear directives were given to use the choppers for rescue at \u201cno cost to evacuees.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

This is yet another baseless twisting of facts by @ani<\/a> to to manufacture news- the attached govt order dated 4th July provided for stationing of choppers & had clear directive to use the choppers for rescue at NO COST to evacuees. https:\/\/t.co\/8gL5YUpadI<\/a> CC @smitaprakash<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/a1pzN8gRAn<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Trivendra S Rawat (@tsrawatbjp) July 15, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The order tweeted by the CM mentions – \u201cPeople stuck in a disaster will not be charged any rent, however, from Dharchula to Gunji in Pithoragarh, Rs 3,500 would be charged per normal passenger…\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On July 15, ANI<\/em> tweeted the same notification as in its earlier article, clarifying that \u201cUttarakhand government has revoked this July 6 notification which charged passengers at the time of disasters.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Uttarakhand government has revoked this July 6 notification which charged passengers at the time of disasters. Now, two extra helicopters have been added and all charges waived at the time of disaster. #Uttarakhand<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/TM97kfuScs<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 ANI (@ANI) July 15, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, CM Rawat responded by saying that no such rent was ever charged in the first place.<\/p>\n

\n

Nothing has been revoked, two choppers were stationed for emergency vide letter dated 4th July and same letter provided for NO CHARGE evacuation in case of emergency arising out of disasters. I urge you to read my tweets properly. pic.twitter.com\/E9trwrDfgU<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Trivendra S Rawat (@tsrawatbjp) July 15, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alt News contacted CMO and was told the same by the personal assistant to the Chief Minister – passengers rescued during disasters were never charged any money.<\/p>\n

ANI\u00a0<\/em>editor Ishaan Prakash responded to CM Rawat on Twitter that the subject line of the notification clearly states\u00a0“dues for helicopter help during disaster\u201d.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Your subject line in the July 6th notification clearly states \u201cdues for helicopter help during disaster\u201d and goes on to say 3100 adding all taxes from each passenger. Now we have been told it\u2019s been revoked so updating. Nothing incorrect was reported in initial story pic.twitter.com\/pvFo5G6mbT<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 ishaan prakash (@ishaan_ANI) July 15, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, Alt News closely read the July 6 notification, issued in Hindi, by the Civil Aviation Development Authority and found that the subject line of the letter does not read what was claimed by Prakash. It specifically talks about how much rent would normal passengers be charged for availing the services of disaster-relief helicopters stationed at Janpad-Pithoragarh and doesn’t pertain to those being rescused.\u00a0\u201cRegarding the rent charged to normal passengers for disaster relief helicopters stationed at Janpad-Pithoragarh,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0reads the subject line.<\/p>\n

The body of the letter further mentions that the rent charged to normal passengers is being decreased, effective immediately. \u201cThe rate of rent charged to normal passengers is being decreased to Rs 2,500 and adding GST to the amount brings the total rent to Rs 3,100 per passenger,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0it says.<\/p>\n

Neither the subject line nor the body of the letter mentions the “charge for those stuck in a disaster” or the “charge for evacuees being revoked.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Uttarakhand government also released a press note on July 15, stating that claims on social media suggesting that the government is charging for helicopter services from disaster-affected people in Pithoragarh are misleading. The press note further adds that the helicopter service is being provided \u201cin view of the possibility of heavy rains.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This was also mentioned in a July 15 tweet by CM Rawat where he said, \u201cKeeping in mind monsoons in hilly regions, my government has rented two helicopters for Garhwal and Kumaon to be used immediately during disasters.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
