Union Minister Kiren Rijiju uploaded the video of the accident on Twitter.

The Superintendent of Police Upper Siang, Jummar Basar, said the rescue operation is a little difficult as the site of the accident is not connected to the road.

The accident site has extremely challenging terrain. However, the cause of the crash is yet to be ascertained.

The Rudra is an attack helicopter manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Indian Army. It is the Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopter’s Weapon System Integrated (WSI) Mk-IV variant (ALH).

A few days ago, seven people, including a pilot died after a helicopter crashed near Kedarnath in Uttarakhand. The initial reports suggested bad weather and poor visibility were the cause of the accident. Massive plum of smoke was seen emitting from the helicopter on the accident site.

According to the reports, people inside the helicopter heard a loud noise before it caught fire.

Earlier on October 5, an Indian Army chopper Cheetah crashed near Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh during a routine sortie. Both the pilots were evacuated and rushed to the nearby military hospital. One of them succumbed to injuries during treatment while another suffered injuries.

Telangana: Former Chief Minister KCR hospitalised following a fall; suspected hip and back injury

According to local reports, the former chief minister will undergo some tests today. KCR is in stable health as of right now.

Former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), fell at home and was taken to the hospital in Hyderabad this morning at around 2 a.m.

The 69-year-old may need surgery since doctors believe he may have injured his hip following the fall. At around two in the morning on Friday, he was taken to the Yashoda Hospital in Hyderabad. Since losing the state assembly elections three days ago, the former chief minister has been hosting meetings at his house.

According to local reports, the former chief minister will undergo some tests today. KCR is in stable health as of right now.

BRS MLC K Kavitha posted on X with an update on KCR’s condition, stating that he is receiving professional medical care at the hospital right now.

Meanwhile, KCR held the position of Chief Minister of Telangana from 2014 till 2023, following his party Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS)’s loss by the Congress in the recently held Assembly Elections.

In the Telangana election, KCR stood for two seats; he won the Gajwel seat but lost to Kamareddy. He was beaten from the Kamareddy seat by Katipally Venkata Ramana Reddy of the BJP, who also defeated KCR and Revanth Reddy.

Revanth Reddy, a member of the Congress, and eleven other ministers were sworn in as Telangana’s chief minister yesterday.

In the 119-member Telangana assembly, the Congress secured 64 seats, while the BRS managed to secure just 39. This was the first loss for BRS since Telangana was created in 2014.

During the lengthy poll campaign, the party attempted to draw attention to all of its programmes for the underprivileged. Nevertheless, the execution of certain programmes had granted MLAs an excessive degree of authority to determine how to allocate monies, giving rise to accusations of both corruption and prejudice.

Despite KCR’s warnings to these MLAs to get a grip and step up their game, all of them received election tickets. As a result, the Congress was awarded the majority of these seats.
