Thanks, any idea if they are going to be in operation? I heard one failed to climb some time back.any changes/overhauling done?

Beauty Arzan!

@ Milind - None of them are working as of now. Only NDM1 and NDM 6 operate in this area. Don't think they will be brought back into operation

794 is not MLR but DHR. Also both of them are in working condition. Only they are operated on charter runs. 794 had a run as recent as Mar 09. and 738 was test run in May 09.

Thanks Vivek for the correction. I forgot adding DHR before 794.
