Sikkim:
An Army helicopter that went missing in Sikkim on Thursday has been found in pieces.
All four people on board - two jawans and two officers - are dead.
The helicopter went missing on Thursday during routine training exercise while flying over north Sikkim near the Chinese border with inclement weather stalling search operations.
The Advance Light Helicopter 'Dhruv' of Army Aviation Corps had taken off from the Sewak Road Base in Siliguri in West Bengal, from where the Army conducts its routine training exercise to Sikkim's borders with China, at 10.30 am, defence sources said. It lost radio contact around 11.30 am.
The Army launched a massive search operation but after about five hours, the search was postponed due to inclement weather.
Dhruv is an indigenously-developed helicopter inducted in the Army only recently.
