Hyderabad : The Indian Air Force (IAF) is trying to para-drop troops on the hill where the missing helicopter carrying Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy and four others was traced Thursday morning.
Two IAF helicopters are hovering over the hill in the dense forests of Kurnool, but landing is very difficult, officials said, adding that they were trying to drop troops by for relief and rescue operations.
The IAF choppers also dropped papers with "crash site" written on it. The paper contains the technical details of the exact site. It is believed to be meant to guide the forces engaged in ground search operations.
Some police officials on the ground saw the pieces of paper and are trying to head towards the crash site between Rudrapuduru and Velugodu villages. A large number of police and civil officials and villagers were also trying to reach the crash site in the Nallamalla forest.
