A army helicopter with five personnel on board crashed in Upper Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh on October 21, 2022 morning. The website is near the border with China.
Defence officers confirmed the crash of a complicated gentle helicopter at 10:43 am close to Migging village. District authorities pinpointed the positioning as Singging, a village about 25 km from nearest city Tuting.
“We have sent a team on foot from Tuting to ascertain the details. It is difficult to measure the distance to Migging, high up in the mountains, or how long the team will take to reach the crash site, Jummar Basar,” the Superintendent of Police of Upper Siang district informed The Hindu.
“There are no reports of any casualty so far. The team has been tasked with locating the chopper and finding survivors,” he stated, including that native villagers have joined the search.
A defence spokesperson stated two rescue helicopters, scanning the world, haven’t been in a position to land.
Tuting, greater than 30 km from the Line of Actual Control, is about 170 km north of Yingkiong, the Upper Siang district headquarters.
