A helicopter carrying Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu and four others, including two crew members, from Tawang has gone missing immediately after take-off this morning.

Khandu, accompanied by two of his personal aides, had taken off from Tawang at 9:56 am and was to land at Itanagar at 11:30 am. It was last sighted at Sela Pass, 20 minutes after taking off from Tawang, defence sources in Shillong said.

DIG Robin Hibu said the helicopter went missing after take-off.

The air force has pressed into service two helicopters in search operations to locate the missing chopper.

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.

This is the third helicopter to get into trouble in the Northeast in the last fortnight.

I believe that the chopper landed safely at the Daporijo and the CM is also safe.

MHA sources have said that Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Dorje Khandu’s chopper has gone missing. The search party is out looking for it. The chopper should have landed in Guwahati at 11:30 am.

The Geographical position of Arunachal Pradesh does not ensure safety for helicopters. All civilians including politicians should not use helicopters in this region.

It is a matter of concern that the helicopter is still not traced. We canonly wish for safety of the copter, C.M. and others accompanying him.
