Bad weather seems to be the cause of the crash, reportedly it fell into the river, rescue teams are already searching the area.

Surely hope those on board are fine.

Punjab Rangers have Bell 206L Long Ranger, it is same as Army is using Jet Ranger II and III. Long Ranger has more powerful engine and may take upto 5 passangers in addition to 2 pilots.

These helos (other then Navy) are not equipped with floatation gear, chances look slim, still hoping for best outcome.
