The Indian Navy’s submarine INS Sindhudhvaj commenced its search to confirm transmission signals likely from the sonar locator beacon of the Coast Guard’s missing Dornier aircraft CG 791. The search for the Dornier, which went missing with three officers on board, entered the sixth day on Sunday.
Its last contact with Air Traffic Control was at 9.23 p.m on Monday, off the Karaikal coast.
INS Sindhudhvaj was called in following “intermittent” transmission signals, likely from the missing aircraft. They were picked up by naval ship INS Sandhayak. The submarine arrived at the search area on Saturday night.
