ITANAGAR: A helicopter
carrying Arunachal Pradesh
chief minister Dorjee
Khandu and four others
went missing on Saturday
shortly after take off from Tawang and apprehensions
grew about their fate with
search operations yielding
no results. Khandu, accompanied by
the sister of Tawang MLA, security officer, had taken off from
Tawang at 9:56am and was to land at
Itanagar at 11:30am by a Pawan Hans
helicopter Eurocopter B3 craft. Tawang is
about 200 kms from here. The chopper was last in communication
with the base when it was overflying Sela
Pass, 20 minutes after taking off from
Tawang, and all communication was lost
after that. There was confusion in the afternoon
with claims made by Governor Gen (retd) J
J Singh first and then by the chief
minister's office and defence
spokesperson that the chief minister had
landed safely in a place called Daporijo in Upper Subansiri district. The CM's office
said the helicopter had landed in a place
in Bhutan. However later in the evening there were
denials from all concerned saying
helicopter has not been located and
search operation was still on. "The helicopter is missing and the search
operation is still on," Union home
secretary Gopal K Pillai said in New Delhi
in the evening. The Arunachal Pradesh government said
that it is yet to ascertain the whereabouts
of the Pawan Hans chopper. Arunachal
Pradesh Deputy Inspector General of
Police Robin Hibu said joint search
operation for the missing copter will be conducted by Army, Air Force and state
police from tomorrow morning by air and
through ground. The five on board included crew members
Captain J S Babbar and Captain K S Malick,
Khandu's security officer Yeshi Choddak
and Yeshi Lamu, sister of Tawang MLA
Tsewang Dhondup. Defence spokesman Wing Commander
Ranjeev Sahoo said in Shillong that two
IAF Cheetah helicopters were sent for the
rescue and search operations. "They have flown from Tezpur and
searched the route from Tawang to
Itanagar. Because of inclement weather
they had to come back after two hours of
search. But they could not locate the
missing chopper. If needed they would be sent again tomorrow," Sahoo told PTI. Pawan Hans officials said in Guwahati
"We have not been able to contact our
pilots and unless we receive information
from them, we cannot confirm any
report". 56-year-old Khandu, who had served in
the intelligence wing of the Indian Army,
was sworn on April 9, 2007 as the fifth
chief minister of the state, replacing
Gegong Apang. Earlier Pillai had said that search parties
left from Itanagar by road to the probable
site near Sela Pass. The Defence Ministry,
Army and the Air Force have all been
alerted. "Unfortunately because of very bad
weather the flights have not been able to
take off for the search in Tawang area.
But as soon as weather clears, the
helicopters will take off", Pillai said. Defence ministry spokesman in Kolkata,
Wing Commander Mahesh Upasani, said
despite inclement weather, two Cheetah
helicopters have been pressed into
service from Tezpur in Assam for search
and rescue operations. The request for help reached the air force
at 1230 hours and the two helicopters
took off within 40 minutes. The airforce has pressed into service two
helicopters in search operations to locate
the missing chopper. The Pawan Hans
chopper was a Eurocopter B-3 and was
just 4-5 months old. It was based in
Itanagar. This is the third helicopter to get into
trouble in the Northeast in the last
fortnight. In the April 19 incident, a Pawan Hans
helicopter crashed in the mountains of
Tawang, bordering Tibet, killing 17
people. The helicopter crashed not far
away from the helipad and the DGCA had
found that proper fire-fighting facilities could have saved lives. In the other incident, an army helicopter
crashed near Gangtok killing four
occupants on board.

Its pawanhans..
