Chennai: With the mystery around the missing ICG Dornier aircraft continuing, four ships, including the National Institute of Ocean Technology vessel Sagar Nidhi, have withdrawn from search operations on Wednesday.
Despite ICG’s assertions that ships and aircraft are continuing the round-the-clock search 16 days after the Dornier with three crewmen on board disappeared, a vessel from Reliance Industries with cameras/remote operation systems left Kakinada without giving any concrete position of the aircraft.
In a final bid to locate the Dornier, the Coast Guard has plans to use a high-tech vessel belonging to Indian Navy from Thursday.
"It will arrive from Visakhapatnam. The ship will be equipped with high-tech system to detect transmission from the aircraft’s SONAR Locator beacon", a senior ICG official said.
The submarine pressed into search duties also failed to locate wreckages underwater.
