In what has been the most massive search and rescue operation in India to trace the missing chopper which was carrying Andhra Pradesh Minister Dr. Y.s.R. Raja Sekhara Reddy with 4 others on board, there is some news today morning. According to reports, the chopper had been traced 49 nautical miles from east of Kurnool on top of a hill. Sources are unwilling to reveal anything at this point in time as to if the chopper crashed or emergency landed there.
However, an airforce chopper left to the spot and probably there will be news regarding the same soon! Meanwhile several people including villagers who are used to the terrain volunteered to go in search of the missing chopper. The inclement weather has been forcing the delay in the search operations, and search volunteers went on foot in search of the missing chopper and their beloved CM Dr. Reddy.
The state’s meteorology department clearly forecasted heavy rains in this part of Andhra Pradesh for the next 72 hours.
Meanwhile it has been 24 hours that the CM went missing, and panic grips the state. The entire state is in prayers for the safety of one of the most influential persons in the Congress party today, Dr. YSR. Reddy.
Let us all pray for the safe return of the CM…
I wonder if he is safe after all…and it is still unknown if the missing chopper traced had crash landed or force landed. And mind you, it’s over 24 hours now that the chopper went missing …so chances are dim…but let’s hope against the hope!
Hei Elisa…just in
that the chopper is in mangled state maybe after crash landed and the optimism is slowly fading away regarding any survivors!
Its official and PM’s office confirms that YSR Reddy is killed in the crash and the forces who went in the search and rescue operation found 5 dead bodies.
Harbinger of luck for the state and Champion of women and masses has not got luck for himself to survive the crash!
