NALLAMALA FOREST AREA ANDHRA PRADESH
MISSING ANDHRA PRADESH CHIEF MINISTER
YSR YS RAJASHEKAR REDDY
The Union Home Ministry is monitoring the search operations.
Air Traffic Control sources said the chopper went off the radar due to heavy rains.
Two helicopters from Hakimpet air command in Secunderabad returned because of inclement weather while three from Bangalore air command and one private helicopter from Nellore were involved in search operations mainly over the Nallamala forest ranges, a stronghold of the Naxalites, in the Rayalaseema region.
An unmanned aerial vehicle from the Defence Ministry has also been pressed into service.
The incident has sent security agencies and bureaucrats into a tizzy with top officials closeted at the secretariat in Hyderabad to monitor the situation.
State DGP S S P Yadav and Intelligence Chief Aravinda Rao and Chief Secretary Ramakanth Reddy are supervising the operations to trace the missing chopper.
