Heliopter hit electricity transmission lines while taking off.

Actually it was coming in to land from Pathankot and has been reported as a technical snag.

Only 7-8 Dhruvs of military lost in crashes since May 2011 (since May 2011). Plus two civilian operated Dhruv losses

That means, it had landed safely before and I am sure all the flight safety parameters were considered. But upon taking off, suddenly caught in the wires? Pilot error?

The official in below video says that, had the visual from Police Station when a Military A/C (Heli in-fact) came down and heard the sound of blast. Later, came to know that Mil Chopper crash landed.
