 Massive search operation for AN-32 aircraft A massive search operation was conducted by for an Indian Air Force (<keyword id="6355075" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="IAF">IAF</keyword>) AN-32 transport aircraft with 13 people onboard that went missing over <keyword id="46408" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Arunachal-Pradesh">Arunachal Pradesh</keyword>. The IAF pressed into service a SU-30 jet fighter, C130 J, Mi17 and ALH helicopters to trace the missing Russian-origin transporter aircraft that was last seen on Monday afternoon. The searches were taking place along thickly forested routes between Assam's Jorhat and Mechuka advanced landing ground in <keyword id="6367693" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="arunachal">Arunachal</keyword> Pradesh. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) satellites -- CARTOSAT and RISAT -- were also taking images of the area. Five days after an Indian Air Force AN-32 aircraft went missing, the Arunachal Pradesh government engaged local village headmen in search operations on the ground even as the IAF announced a ₹5 lakh reward for any information about the ill-fated plane.

Wreckage of Indian Air Force’s AN-32 aircraft found in Arunachal Pradesh after 8 days

Indian authorities on Saturday offered a cash reward to boost a desperate hunt for a military transport plane missing for nearly a week and feared to have crashed in a remote northeastern state. The <keyword id="15141" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Air-Force">Indian Air Force</keyword> and Arunachal Pradesh state government announced the 550,000 rupee (US$8,000) reward to get village chiefs to organise search parties for the AN-32 that disappeared from radars last Monday carrying 13 people. The Soviet-built air force plane went missing near the border with China and air searches, satellite surveys and efforts to pick up signals from the plane have all failed. In addition to using Indian Space Research Organisation satellites and other hi-tech means, ground teams have been scouring the <keyword id="838145" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mechuka">Mechuka</keyword> jungle region for the plane. <img src="https://cdn.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/d8/images/methode/2019/06/09/6a80e900-8a1a-11e9-a9bc-e8ed9093c066_972x_023710.JPG" class="wrapper__img preview-img-item" /> A woman in Kuala Lumpur leaves a message of support for the passengers of the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 flight in March 2014. Photo: Reuters The air force said it would give 500,000 rupees and the state government offered 50,000 rupees for “credible information” leading to the discovery of the plane. Rewards after air accidents are rare. A US$80 million reward was offered after a Malaysian Airlines flight went missing in 2014 on a Kuala Lumpur-Beijing flight. It has not been found. The Indian military has deployed nine helicopters, fighter jets and transporters looking for the plane. The ground search is concentrated in Siang district and involves police, air force and army forces, the Indo-Tibetan border police, civil administration teams, hunters and some local people. A senior district official said authorities wanted to get village chiefs more involved. Bad weather has hampered the search in recent days, but a full hunt resumed on Saturday. The turboprop plane was carrying eight crew and five military personnel on the flight. Many relatives of the missing are waiting in the state city of <keyword id="171363" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="JORHAT">Jorhat</keyword> for news. Military spokesman Wing Commander Ratnakar Singh said that no efforts are being spared in the hunt. We stand in support of the families in these difficult times,” Singh said.
