The Pawan Hans helicopter in which the Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu was traveling in has gone missing since morning from about 10:56 am today. The chopper was proceeding from Tawang and was to land at Itanagar.
AN INDIAN Air Force M-17 is being utilized for search operations. High-level meetings have been organized to organize and plan search operations, which are going on.
The Pawan Hans Helicopter was carrying Dorjee Khandu and four others, including two crew members and the pilot on board named J.S. Babbar. The Pawan Hans chopper is a single engine unit and the last radio contact was near Sele pass and due to dense forest the search operation is getting impeded.
But alert has been sounded across Andhra Pradesh, and officials are in contact with other nearby areas. Dorjee belongs to the monpa tribe. He is the son of the Late Leki Dorjee, and has four sons and two daughters. He was about to land at Itanagar by 11:30 am but went missing. He has received a gold medal for meritorious intelligence services rendered during Bangladesh war. After the victory of his party in the Arunachal Pradesh legislative assembly elections, in 2009, he was again sworn in as the chief minister on 25 October 2009.

My suggetion to Govt of India that if a VVIP travelling through chopper then an Escort Chopper should be with then in front or in back by maintaning distance of 5 to 10 minutes because in many cases of lack of Escort plan such situation are occuring and days and days of search and govt money are waisted so if an Escort plan can save a life in emergency time
