Police and paramilitary forces are moving towards a forested area where Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy's missing helicopter was last spotted but the helicopter search has been called off, Home Minister P Chidambaram said on Wednesday.
A sombre Chidambaram said that forest and revenue department officials were searching the area in and around Kurnool district "where we think the helicopter was last seen. We are keeping our fingers crossed".
"The police and paramilitary forces are moving towards that point... Perhaps they would be able to do a search for a couple of hours at least, then we will have to wait first light tomorrow.
"Let us hope for the best. Let us pray for the best," said the minister, who is supervising the search operation for the Andhra Pradesh helicopter that went missing with YSR on board while flying from Hyderabad to Chittoor on Wednesday morning.
