State officials  and the security personnel monitoring the official tour of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Rajasekhara Reddy had scarry moments on Wednesday as the copter the CM was travelling by lost contact  for some time due to smoggy weather and a technical  snag.

The alert officials pressed the panic buttons and deployed four Army choppers to search the forests of Kurnool district from where it was believed to have lost contact and disappeared.  While three helicopters were brought in from Bangalore, another was drafted from Hyderabad.

 The police stations in Kurnool district were put on high alert. The District Collector of Chittoor and other top officials frantically tried to establish contact with the Chief Minister's aides accompanying him.

After leaving Kurnool at 8.30 a.m,  the CM's helicopter went off the radar screen due to heavy rain while on its way to Chittoor from Kurnool. It was forced to make an emergency landing at Pamulapadu village of Kurnool district  at 11.15 a.m due to inclement weather.

From Pamilipadu, the Chief Minister left by road for Chittor. With foggy weather  and  persistent  drizzle accompanying the CM, his programmes for the day  went haywire. The Chief Minister’s chopper took off at Begumpet airport at 8.40 a.m, along with his secretary Mr Subramani and chief security officer Mr Wesley besides two pilots.

Rosaiah informed people to search for the CM in the forests nearer to the mahabooba nagar, kurnool, chittor... (Nallamala).
