HYDERABAD (Reuters) - A helicopter carrying Y.S.R. Reddy, chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, went missing near a dense jungle while on a routine district tour early on Wednesday, officials said.
"The chief minister's chopper still remains untraced," K. Rosiah, the state finance minister said in Hyderabad.
"I am appealing to people to please help us in search operations," he said, hours after the air traffic control room lost contact with the helicopter in bad weather.
Air Force officials said five helicopters were scanning the state's Kurnool and Chittor districts for the missing chopper.
"So far, we have not found it," Wing Commander T.K. Singha, told Reuters in New Delhi.
