YSR's death in copter crash: ATRs placed before Cabinet

Hyderabad: The action taken reports (ATRs) on the recommendations of three committees constituted by the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Central Bureau of Investigation and the State government for ascertaining the reasons for crash of helicopter leading to the death of former Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy were placed before the Cabinet on Friday.
Disclosing this at a media briefing after the Cabinet meeting, Information and Public Relations Minister D. K. Aruna said that all the three committees which investigated the accident had ruled out any conspiracy. They said the death of YSR and four others aboard the Bell-420 Helicopter on September 2, 2009 was due to error of judgement by the pilot.
YSR was on his way to attend ‘Rachabanda’ in Chittoor when the aircraft caught in inclement weather crashed in Nallamala forest at Chiruthagundam of Atmakur mandal in Kurnool district.
The Cabinet also approved to place the reports of R. K. Tyagi Committee and high level expert committee appointed by the State government in public domain, after placing the same before the Legislature, if necessary.
