The government chopper with the 60-year-old Chief Minister Mr Y S Rajashekar reddy on board took off at 8.45 AM and was scheduled to land at Chitoor district at 10.40 AM. However, it soon lost radio contact and has been untraceble. It went off the radar amid inclement weather.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Secretary Ramakant Reddy said the chief minister remains untraced after his helicopter went missing amid bad weather on Wednesday morning.
He said the government had not been in touch with the chief minister since 9.45 a.m.
`So far we have not been able to get any confirmation about the chief minister,` he said.
`It is possible that because of the strong winds and heavy rains, it may have landed in some unfamiliar area,` he said.
`If you land in an unfamiliar forest area, getting out will be very difficult,` he added.
