The search for the missing Dornier aircraft of the Indian Coast Guard is expected to continue. Four ships have been pressed into service, said Commander Coast Guard Region (East) Inspector General S.P. Sharma.
The Dornier that took off from Chennai with three officers on board went missing while returning from a surveillance sortie on the night of June 8.
Mr. Sharma told reporters that a remotely-operated vessel (ROV) of Reliance India Limited was also expected to join the search.
The ROV was expected to join the operations much earlier.
“However, it is in bad weather in its present engagement and we have positive indications that as soon as it is free it will join the search,” he said, adding that an enquiry has been ordered to come out with reasons for the aircraft’s disappearance.
