01:04The Ara hills in Jashpur district. So we will try and get more details. We are told that, alright I
01:10have more details coming in.
01:11The jet went down after hitting a tree in a forest area according to local residents.
01:17The first eyewitnesses is always on the ground. That the jet went down after it hit a tree in a
01:23forest area.
01:24This is clearly, as you can see, Ara hills is an area where it is mountainous.

01:34had hit.
01:35Smoke and flames seen at the spot. Sadly, according to the eyewitness accounts and the locals on the spot,
01:42casualties are feared. Authorities are already probing the incident.
01:46But in a case like this, ladies and gentlemen, as much as I don't intend to sound alarming,
01:50but a crash like this leads to casualties and very few chances of a possible miracle where there are survivors.
01:59But let's hope, let's pray that there are survivors in this air crash.
02:03However, as you can see, the kind of impact that has happened, first hit a hill and then the hillside,
02:09Ara hills.
02:10Now, what led to the reason of the crash, that's not yet clear.
02:16Also, as more details coming in, what was the impact? How did it even hit the tree?
02:21Considering, of course, there are clear coordinates that any pilot would have.
02:25Sumi is joining me. Sumi Keval Patil on the phone line for the latest.
02:29Sumi, what time did this incident happen? Where?
02:32Tell us more about this Jaspur, Ara hills area.
02:35But how would a private plane, if it's clearly flying at a certain altitude, would then hit a tree and
02:42then a hillside?
02:45Yes, absolutely. Recent information has come from the area of Jaspur district, which is in the northern part of Chhattalukit.
02:52And this is an aviation industry, an aviation incident that has been reported from the Ara hills,
02:57where we have been told that there is a private aircraft that is believed to have crashed.
03:02However, I would like to emphasize this very point that we don't have any official confirmation on it.
03:07But after receiving the intelligence about this particular crash in the mountainous terrain of the Ara hills,
03:15initial input suggests that the aircraft directly struck the hill in the Jaspur-Narayanpur belt, triggering a fire at the
03:21crash site.
03:22But again, we don't have any confirmation as of yet.
03:26But authorities were alerted immediately after the incident and teams from the police and the local administration.
03:31But it has had an impact at the site and smoke wreckage has been found as of now.
03:35There has been fires, there has been reported thick plumes of smoke rising from the hilltop, indicating a severe crash.
03:43However, the team at the spot hasn't been able to found any wreckage as of now,
03:48which is why the officials are not confirming about this particular crash.
03:52The officials are expected to release more details once the rescue team finds more concrete information about this thing.
04:00So, we will be waiting for further details on that.
04:03It is a developing story, but a terrible accident that has taken place,
04:08what led to the crash, who were in that plane, we will be tracking all of that and more.
