Two pilots were injured after an army helicopter force-landed near Patnitop in Jammu and Kashmir today.
The pilots, inside the Army Aviation helicopter, were rescued with the help of locals in the area and rushed to the hospital.
“Today, during a training sortie in the Patnitop area, the Indian Army Cheetah Helicopter crash-landed in the Shiv Garh Dhar area in Udhampur district,” the Army said.
The officer said the chopper either crashed or crash-landed on a hill. “Search parties have been rushed to the area, but it will take around one and a half hours to reach there by foot. Dense fog in the area is making it difficult for the searchers to pinpoint exact location,” he added.
DIG, Udhampur Reasi Range Suleman Choudhary, said, “We got information and dispatched a police team towards the Shiv Garh Dhar.”
