New Delhi: A month since it went off radar enroute Port Blair, the search for the missing AN-32 aircraft of Indian Air Force continues without any concrete evidence about the fate of the aircraft.
Meanwhile, as Geological Survey of India ship Samudra Ratnakar found some leads at a depth of around 3,000 meters, officials said it was not clear if it was the debris of the aircraft.
"The ship has tracked some echoes from the seabed but it will be a long process to verify if there is any debris belonging to the AN-32," IAF spokesperson Wing Commander Anupam Banerjee told IANS.
According to the Geological Survey of India, the Samudra Ratnakar, which was part of the search operation, had detected some linear pieces.
A GSI official told IANS that the objects, around 200 to 300 nautical miles from Chennai, could even be rocks on the sea bed.
Indian Navy Spokesperson Captain D.K. Sharma said: "The search for AN-32 is in progress in right earnest."
Sharma added that there were no concrete leads.
