YSR’s chopper still missing!
Hyderabad: Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy, has been missing since 9.27am on Wednesday.
Four helicopters from the Indian Air Force are on desperate search and rescue mission for the helicopter carrying the CM.
Andhra Pradesh finance minister A Rosaiah said at a press conference that no contact has been established with the chief minister’s chopper. Search and rescue operations are still on, he said.
The heavy rain and zero visibility in the Nalamlla forest, an extension of Eastern Ghats, is making the search operations difficult, officials said.
Large parts of the forest are also flooded because of the overflowing Srisailam reservoir.
Before this, Karnool SP B L Meena, had told that the chief minister’s chopper had been located and a police team was going to escort him back to Hyderabad.
