Chennai, July 24 (IBNS): Even after 48 hours, missing Indian Air Force AN-32 aircraft is still untraceable.
The plane with 29 people on board went missing near Chennai on Friday.
 
The aircraft departed Tambaram at 0830 hrs with six crew members and 23 passengers.
 
It was scheduled to arrive at Port Blair at 1145 hrs. The aircraft however did not make any contact with Air Traffic Control of Port Blair and an overdue action was initiated.
 
The last Radar contact marked by Chennai Air Traffic Radar was East of Chennai at 151 NM. The aircraft was flying at 23000 ft.
 
A massive search operation is on with 18 Navy and Coast Guard ships including a submarine, and eight aircraft like P 81, C 130 and Dorniers.
 
Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar personally reviewed the ongoing search operations initiated to locate the aircraft on Saturday.
 
The Minister directed that if need arises more resources be diverted for the SAR operations.
